The Strain - New Content Coming to WildStar at the End of June

[Shawn Zipay]

The MMORPG, WildStar, hasn't even been out a month yet and it's already about to get some fresh new content. The upcoming content is called "The Strain" and it will introduce a new zone, new solo content, new gear, new housing items, new mounts, and much more.

The Strain content update includes:
- New Zone, Blighthaven: a massive new zone that includes Cankertube swamp and the gastrointestinal terrors of the Globellum!
- New solo content: a new group event 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; Northern Wilds becomes Northern Wastes and is now a crash site.

Again, this update will start to be released the week of June 30. From my understanding, it will be free for everyone playing the game.
