World of Warcraft Midnight will add the Prey system, where you can hunt and be hunted by elite enemies across Azeroth

This system will also be an “opt-in” system, all but confirming that participation is optional, and may have a toggleable setting similar to War Mode while the difficulty settings could be changed like how the dungeon and raid difficulties are on the current WoW UI. There will probably be a set number of targets each week but since there are three difficulty tiers to choose from, players can reasonably expect the enemies to be stronger and possess different mechanics or buffs that need to be accounted for (including the need for groups) when hunting at higher levels. On the flip side, given how fast players can move between different zones, it makes sense to think that you’d need to be in the same zone as your target for them to hunt you back but for now, we’ll have to wait and see.
