World of Warcraft has been around for 22 years, and a new music video in collaboration with singer Aurora will have players reliving every memory.

The song, titled A Place to Call Home, is accompanied by an animated music video crafted by Paris-based animation studio Brunch in partnership with Blizzard. It starts by showing a journey that will be familiar to longtime night elf players--the trek of a lone night elf from Teldrassil to the Eastern Kingdoms, requiring players to travel through the dangerous Wetlands before reaching the dwarven capital of Ironforge.

From there the trailer picks up the pace, as the night elf adventurer is rescued by a dwarf hunter and later teams up with a human paladin for a trek into WoW's iconic Deadmines dungeon. After defeating the Defias Brotherhood, the music video goes full montage, as the adventuring party travels through WoW's various expansions--through the Dark Portal into Outland to face Illidan, across the sea to Northrend to vanquish the Lich King, a showdown with Deathwing from Cataclysm, and more.

For those who have dreamt of a return to the world of classic EverQuest, but just don't have the time (or the number of friends) needed to progress in the infamously grindy MMORPG, the newly announced EverQuest Legends is offering a solution.

Everquest Legends is a new spin on the genre-defining MMO from 1999, one that will keep the game's original visuals, music, and world but has been "designed from the ground up" to appeal to casual players, according to developer Daybreak Games. Rather than massive, 40-man raids, EverQuest Legends is instead tailored for solo play, while still allowing for groups of four to eight players.

Taking on EverQuest's challenges solo will be possible due to the sheer amount of power Daybreak will let players accumulate. Unlike in original EverQuest, EverQuest Legends will let players select three different classes at a time, who will benefit from the stats, spells, and abilities of each. Players will start by selecting their race as normal, but have access to two classes from the get-go. A third class becomes available at level 10.

Disney's top gaming boss, the veteran Sean Shoptaw, has outlined the company's vision for games amid what he described as a "massive disruption" in the gaming market today. Part of Disney's investments and efforts in gaming today are in Fortnite, but it goes a lot further than that.

Speaking at SXSW, Shoptaw--Disney's Executive Vice President, Global Games & Digital Entertainment--said Disney's ambition for games overall is that they can stand alongside Disney's film, TV, and theme park businesses in terms of drawing people to Disney's worlds.

Disney does not want to make "box-checky" games, as Shoptaw described them. He said Disney made a key strategic change to its gaming business about a decade ago with the aim of shifting away from licensed tie-in games that re-told the stories of Disney's movies to making games that told original stories within Disney's worlds.
