The world of Nexus is about to go viral as Carbine releases its Strain Ultra Drop at the end of this month. Carbine’s wildly popular fantasy/sci-fi MMO Wildstar is gearing up for an upcoming patch where players will be able to explore even more areas and hunt for even more epic loot. The team has made a commitment to release “quality content on a monthly basis” and it looks like Strain will not disappoint.

The new content will reveal that there is something sinister lurking deep below the surface of the planet; can you survive the Strain?

The upcoming content will include:

• New Zone, Blighthaven: a massive new zone that includes Cankertube Swamp and the gastrointestinal terrors of the Globellum!
• New solo content: a new group even like a tower defense game (Guardians of the Grove) and a dungeon-like area for group combat called The Nursery that includes a Boss fight against the Strain-corrupted Elyona the Mad.
• Players will also unlock new Strain-themed gear, housing items, costumes, and mounts.
• Players will be able to revisit areas from Nexus that have been drastically altered; the Northern Wilds becomes the Northern Wastes and is now a crash site.

More information will be rolled out over the next two weeks as it becomes available:

• June 24: Information regarding locations; Blighthaven and the Northern Wastes
• June 26: Information regarding new housing plugs, costumes, dyes, emotes, hoverboards, and mounts
• June 30: Strain DevSpeak video
• Week of June 30 (exact date TBD): Strain goes live with patch notes

We will be sure to keep you updated as more information is released prior to the Strain patch. You can also expect our review of WildStar in the coming weeks. In the meantime, why not check out our early impressions?
