World of Warcraft Introduces Solo Raid Mode After 20 Years

Blizzard's new 'Story Mode' lets players tackle the final boss of The War Within expansion alone or with a small group.

Story Mode allows players to face the final boss of the Nerub-ar Palace raid solo or with up to nine others.
This new difficulty setting focuses on narrative aspects, with simplified mechanics and reduced difficulty.
Players must complete the entire War Within campaign and reach level 80 to access Story Mode.
Rewards in Story Mode differ from traditional raids, offering currency for gear upgrades instead of standard loot.
Blizzard hints at potentially expanding Story Mode to older content, reflecting a shift toward accommodating solo play styles.
