Currently, there is only one map available in WoW Plunderstorm known as Arathi Highlands upon the new game modes infancy.

What is WoW Arathi Highlands?
Arathi Highlands has a slightly different appearance compared to the traditional WoW world as a number of primary locations are being added to the map for players to experience, those being Ar’gorok and Brew Bay. However, while both locations are a new game mode experience, they are not completely new to WoW fans.
Ar’gorok is the area that was highlighted as the centerpiece of the Warfronts game mode and was initially revealed during the WoW Battle for Azeroth expansion. Meanwhile, Brew Bay is the extra alternative location that will be surrounded by the eastern shore of the Highlands. Players will be able to find the latter near the area where you would complete the Duskfeather quest line found in the WoW Classic Season of Discovery.
As of writing, it is uncertain whether more maps will be added to WoW Plunderstorm or if the Arathi Highlands will be the only map featured in WoW’s new game mode. Regardless, WoW Plunderstorm will provide many fans and incoming players a unique opportunity to witness the WoW world in a completely new light.
Who knows, maybe if WoW Plunderstorm is seen as an early success by consumers, the Blizzard developers would be heavily inspired to add more maps in future patches.
