New Hero Valeera Set to Join the Battle

If you’re a World of Warcraft fan, the name Valeera should sound very familiar. Once a fierce gladiator, she fought side by side with the memory-lost Varian Wrynn and built a bond of trust strong enough to stake her life on.

The main reason behind this decision was the outstanding success of the previous game. Nippon Ichi now plans to consistently release at least one major Chinese-localized game on the PS4 platform every year.…
