WoW Patch 11.1: Two New Race Types Added

Summary

  • Patch 11.1 in World of Warcraft will introduce Breakneck D.R.I.V.E. races and Skyrocket races with Goblin jetpacks.
  • The Undermine zone in Patch 11.1 will not allow flying, utilizing customizable cars and jetpacks instead.
  • Racers can expect challenges like ring collection, speed, and difficulty in the new Skyrocket races.

World of Warcraft is set to thrill its players with two new racing experiences in Patch 11.1: Breakneck D.R.I.V.E. races and Skyrocket races, which feature exhilarating Goblin jetpacks. These races are set to replace traditional Skyriding races in the upcoming zone, Undermine, featured in the first major content update for World of Warcraft: The War Within.

Patch 11.1, aptly named Undermined, transports players to Undermine, a vast subterranean city and the heart of Goblin civilization. Despite its expansive layout, flying is prohibited in this zone. Instead, players will navigate using D.R.I.V.E., a dynamic, customizable, car-like mount designed to zip through the city's streets at speeds surpassing those of Skyriding. World of Warcraft has confirmed that these Breakneck races will leverage the full capabilities of the D.R.I.V.E. system.

In addition to Breakneck races, the patch introduces Skyrocket races, where players don Goblin jetpacks to soar through the skies. These races blend elements of existing flight systems, offering a unique movement style where players cannot stop mid-air like in Steady flight, yet they maintain momentum and altitude without the drawbacks of Skyriding. As demonstrated by WoW content creator MrGM on the Public Test Realm, racers gain speed by collecting rings, but this increased velocity makes turning less responsive, adding a layer of difficulty to Skyrocket races.

Because Skyriding is not permitted in Undermine, Skyriding races are absent from the zone. However, both Breakneck and Skyrocket races will feature achievements for achieving Bronze, Silver, and Gold times. Additionally, there are reverse versions of all four Skyrocket and D.R.I.V.E. Breakneck races, though they lack the Advanced or Challenge courses seen in some Skyriding races.

Initial reactions to the Skyrocket races have been varied. While some players are eager to experience this new feature, others feel the jetpack flying appears stiff and less responsive than Skyriding. Fortunately, with Patch 11.1 still in development, there's ample time for Blizzard to refine these races before their anticipated release in February.
