Blizzard Removes Controversial Sexual Assault Quest from World of Warcraft

A controversial questline in World of Warcraft, called A Missing Soul, has been removed from the game's Public Test Realm after fans expressed their concerns. The quest involved preserving the timeline, which included a traumatic event in the game's lore where a character named Alexstrasza was forcibly impregnated by the Dragonmaw Clan. Fans were upset at how the game handled the subject matter and Blizzard has said it is looking to adjust or remove quests after community feedback. The removal of the questline comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding Activision Blizzard's workplace culture.
