HiddenMaps

HiddenMaps reveals WoW’s hidden pre-instance maps and integrates them directly into the World Map, with live player tracking where supported.

Built specifically for the WoW Forever Beta, HiddenMaps makes use of map artwork that already exists in the game for areas Blizzard normally only displays through the minimap.

These include pre-instance areas such as the caves before Uldaman, the tunnels leading into Blackfathom Deeps, and the corridors on the way to Gnomeregan.

Live Pre-Instance Maps

When you enter a supported pre-instance area, HiddenMaps automatically switches the World Map to the appropriate hidden map.

Your position and facing are tracked in real time using a Blizzard-style player indicator, making these areas behave much more like normally mapped parts of the world.

There is no separate map browser and no need to manually select the correct map. HiddenMaps switches maps automatically as you move between supported areas.

Dungeon Maps

When you enter the instance itself, HiddenMaps switches to the appropriate dungeon map and displays Blizzard’s native dungeon artwork.

Live player tracking is available in supported pre-instance areas, but not inside the instances themselves. Dungeon interiors currently use static maps.

WoW Forever Beta Support

This version of HiddenMaps is designed specifically for the WoW Forever Beta and currently supports every instance available in the Beta, including the new Forever dungeons.

HiddenMaps will continue to be updated during the Beta, with a final release planned for WoW Forever’s official launch in November.

HiddenMaps is not simply a collection of extra dungeon maps. Its main purpose is to reveal maps that are already hidden in the game and make supported pre-instance areas behave like properly mapped parts of the world.
