Good morning,
Get ready to be infected by Carbine??s most viralWildStar Flick yet. Strain Ultra Drop is almost here and it will reveal even more of planet Nexus: more loot, more content and more awesomeness than you will be able to digest! As part of its commitment to releasing quality new content for WildStar on a monthly basis, Carbine will release The Strain, its first content update, during the week of June 30. The Strain will reveal that there??s something horrible living deep beneath the surface of planet Nexus.
