New battleground in next WOW patch

By Oli Welsh Published 26 May, 2009

Plus mini-raid, more Argent Tournament.

Blizzard has announced the first details of the next World of Warcraft update, patch 3.2: Call of the Crusade.

The update will introduce the Isle of Conquest battleground, a "large-scale siege" PVP map where players will compete for resources needed to lay siege to each other's keeps.

Also coming is the mysterious Crusaders' Coliseum containing "5-player, 10-player, and 25-player challenges". It 's a training area set up by the Argent Crusade to prepare troops for a siege on Icecrown Citadel, and it sounds like it might be a mini-raid for dungeon groups of all sizes.

The opening of the Coliseum will also tie in to more solo daily quests, rewards and challenges for the Argent Tournament, which was introduced in the last patch.

Finally, season 7 will start in the Arenas, bringing new rewards. Find all things WOW at the Wrath of the Lich King gamepage.
