World of Warcraft's New DRIVE Mount Explained
Game Rant spoke with WoW's lead quest designer about the new DRIVE mount revealed during Warcraft's recent 30th edition.
Now, apparently World of Warcraft has changed his mind about that Delves special feature. During the interview with Wow content creator The Comeback Kids, World of Warcraft Game director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that Brann remains out of the game World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, for all The War Within. “The big one [challenge with changing companions] is that the players brought up Brann, they were completely renewed and renewed. If you replace him, do we just remove it all?” Hazzikostas was afraid that repeating the development with his friend Delve every season would be bad for the fans, so to avoid this, the players will keep Brann as his partner until that's it.

Brann is the only partner in World of Warcraft: The War Within
Logistically, it makes sense. While the addition of a new Delve friend adds variety, replacing all the hard work the players put into taming Brann after a few months wouldn't be great. Some fans suggest keeping the two characters or sharing progress between them, but it seems that these solutions did not agree with Blizzard's idea of how the additional Delve partner works. It might be a disappointment to the players, but it seems World of Warcraft will only receive one Delve Friend every two years in the future.

It remains to be seen exactly how the additional Delve partners will work World of Warcraft: Midnightor characters that may accompany the player in the event of an expansion. If it takes place in Quel'thalas, fans may be able to work with famous Elven explorers, such as Naleidea Rivergleam or Elise Starseeker. Until then, players can only speculate on how the system will change throughout the Worldsoul Saga and beyond.
