Alex Afrasiabi discusses new zones and upcoming content on G4

Getting a little tired of the same old grind, even though it's been barely a month? Cataclysm is far from over, and developments will continue to roll out in future patches and updates. Blizzard's Lead World Designer Alex Afrasiabi leads players through a guided tour of the new Cataclysm zones and sheds some light on upcoming content through a series of videos posted on G4tv.com.

Among some of the tidbits discussed are the following fascinating bits of information:

• a new boss is on the horizon in Vash'jir -- animal Gods?

• roleplaying aspects of the redesigned Stormwind (we wrote about a few already)

• lore behind Uldum and how it ties into Ulduar

• a future content patch will see Hyjal fully healed, and new daily quests

• a future patch will introduce boat races for players in Thousand Needles

Sound like fun? Check out all the zone videos and commentary over on G4.
