PC Gamer UK December issue: World of Warcraft

Warlords of Draenor comes out today; the fifth expansion for the massively multiplayer phenomenon that is World of Warcraft. In December's issue of PC Gamer, we salute not only WoW's future, but also its past—celebrating 10 years of lore, quests, community and hide-skinning.

What else? How about Cory's hands-on impressions of H1Z1? Or maybe Chris's report on the making of Wolfenstein: The New Order? Or perhaps a Smite hero? Nestled inside the issue, you'll find a free Smite character and skin. The issue, which is in shops now, can be ordered through My Favourite Magazines. Digitally, you'll find it on the App Store, Google Play, and Zinio, and you can subscribe to get issues delivered directly to your door. Read on for a look at the subs cover, and a round-up of the features to be found in issue 272.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
