Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Fan stuff , Odds and ends , Blizzard , PvP , Humor , Screenshots Blizzard never fails to exceed expectations on April Fool’s Day — in the EU, they reported on a brand new Pimp My Mount option (featuring tiger-mounted gatling guns), over on the forums, they RP’d the place up a bit, and now on the North American page, they’ve announced the game’s newest feature: a Dance Battle system . They say that sometime soon in the game (that is, if this wasn’t April 1st), players will be able to have dance-offs around the world, culminating in a huge dance tournament to take place in Kael’thas quarters in Tempest Keep. Wait, isn’t that guy dead? Players will be able to form crews, which can then battle each other using player controlled dance moves and a vehicle-like interface. Of course, none of it is true, which is an extra poke in the heart to fans who really are waiting for the new dance system . We doubt it’ll have a battle component, but the interface and the rewards are pretty intriguing — so close to what we’re really hoping for, and yet so far. And yes Blizzard, nice Lonely Island joke hidden in there. It was, in fact, a horror film. There’s even a trailer for “Azeroth’s Best Dance Crew (hosted by Acy Slater),” though we looked closely and didn’t see any really new dance moves in there, either. But it’s cute, and (maybe this is what Blizzard intended) only whets our appetite for the real new dances, supposedly still coming soon.
