isn't this going to be confusing since there already is a game named wow?
World of Warcraft was officially released online in North America on November 23, 2004. Theres also a game called DarkWind which is a text based fantasy MUD thats been in development since 1992

It's a start-over yep. Change of focus from persistent-world to player-run leagues, plus a single-player campaign.

In the trailer video? That "realtime driving" stuff will only be used for cutscenes, like when you arrive to a town.

I guess it will be out on GoG and/or consoles a while after Steam.

Any word on minimum system requirements? Or, is that part of what needs to be determined with the beta testing? I assume, this will be the minimal baseline

Operating System: Windows 7 (SP1+) or newer (64-bit), macOS 10.12.6+ (Sierra), or Ubuntu 20.04+ (64-bit).

CPU: X64 architecture with SSE2 instruction set support (e.g., Intel Core i3 or equivalent).

RAM: 4 GB, though 8 GB is strongly recommended for a better experience.

Graphics: A GPU capable of DirectX 10, 11, or 12 (Windows), Metal (macOS), or OpenGL 3.2+/Vulkan (Linux).

Integrated graphics: ???

Would be cool if it can run on a AM4 3000G with vega 3 graphics, but i doubt that :)

Usually, reducing the resolution helps a lot so hopefully it will run on a weaker machine at say 1024x768

I'm super happy to hear that. I came back to this game after several years (coincidentally on an M-series Mac) because I heard about a new, single player friendly Darkwind experience. I'm immediately reminded how much I enjoy this setting and game experience. Super excited for the new chapter!
