WoW Forever: Escape Together sends creators to Scarlet Monastery

Blizzard has released Escape Together, a new video on the official World of Warcraft channel presented under the WoW Forever banner. It is a competition show: 2 teams of 5 WoW content creators, one for the Horde and one for the Alliance, earn points across a series of trials inspired by the game.

The Horde team is Kess, Stef Sanjati, SoulSoBreezy, Soap and Venruki. The Alliance team is WowHobbs, Bajheera, PlkaTV and 2 cosplayers: DarkLady Cosplay, dressed as Sally Whitemane, and Tsarina Cosplay, whose Jaina is a first WoW costume.

The trials borrow from life in Azeroth. In alchemy, the teams solve riddles to pick the right ingredients and brew potions. In forging, 2 players assemble a piece together while one of them is blindfolded and works only from the other's directions. There is also an axe-throwing round.

The finale is an escape room built around the Scarlet Monastery, and the points from every round decide the winner. The final score is close. The show follows the first episode of The Forever Journey, another Forever video from Blizzard.

The show arrives in the last stretch before launch. Character names can be reserved from 27 October, and Forever opens for Europe at 23:00 London time on 4 November, which is midnight on 5 November in Central Europe.
