Preview of Northern Wilds Adventure

WildStar Northern Wilds MOBA
 
We already wrote couple of times about WildStar Adventures, a re-playable five people instances. Well we also wrote that Adventures stray from typical dungeons content a lot because they are open-ended. Compared to that, Northern Wilds Adventure is even more different from everything else we saw in MMORPG genre, thus far.
 
It quickly became popular among players of the beta, so IGN decided to talk more about it with Stephen Frost.

Wildstar tumblr
 
Carbine Studios started promoting their official Wildstar Tumblr page yesterday. You can check it out if you click here. The posts on the page are a inside look “behind the scenes” at Carbine Studios, but the dev team also some teases some of the WildStar’s future content that it’s worth checking out.
 
The page is actually a bit older, as some posts date to February 13, but Carbine Studious just recently started promoting the page. In a week that’s behind us, there weren’t any big news about WildStar, even though some devs hinted it. If you, like us, are craving for more WildStar-related content, then you should take a quick look at the WildStar Tumblr page.
