Microsoft has introduced its launch plans for Obsidian’s RPG Avowed, together with a shock launch on Blizzard’s Battle.web.
Avowed’s launch date is about for February 18, 2025, throughout Xbox Series X and S, the Xbox app on Windows, Steam, and Battle.web. As a first-party Microsoft sport, Avowed launches day one on Game Pass.
It’s the Battle.web launch that’s of most curiosity right here, as a result of it means you’ll be capable to purchase the sport with World of Warcraft gold.
Here’s the way it works: WoW Tokens could be exchanged for Battle.web Balance, not simply sport time, which suggests gamers can not directly purchase something Blizzard sells for real-world cash with in-game gold. Players should purchase a WoW Token from Blizzard for $20 and both hold it for later or put it on the in-game public sale home. Another participant will (hopefully) purchase that token from the public sale home for in-game gold, then change it for $15 of Battle.web Balance (Blizzard successfully takes a $5 tax from the transaction). Battle.web Balance can then be used to purchase something Blizzard sells for World of Warcraft for real-world cash, together with video video games.
At the time of this text’s publication, a WoW Token goes for 262,365 gold (the worth fluctuates as demand rises and falls). At its most cost-effective, Avowed prices $69.99, which suggests you’ll want 5 WoW Tokens to change for sufficient Battle.web Balance to purchase the sport. That equates to 1.3 million gold.
That’s plenty of gold most gamers most likely don’t have mendacity round. But with Avowed three months from launch, there may be time to get that WoW gold grind going, for those who’re decided to purchase the sport with out really shopping for the sport.
Meanwhile, it’s price noting that Microsoft is promoting as much as 5 days of early entry to Avowed by way of the Premium Edition, which prices $89.99 and likewise contains two premium pores and skin packs and entry to the digital artbook and soundtrack.
