World of Warcraft‘s newest expansion, The war within, was announced during the opening ceremony of Blizzcon 2023.
The war within kicks off the multi-part Worldsong Saga, a trilogy of expansions that Blizzard claims it will celebrate World of Warcraft‘s 20th anniversary, which is in 2024. The war within will be launched during next year’s anniversary celebrations and will be the game’s tenth expansion.
The War Within takes players to subterranean kingdoms beneath Azeroth itself, where they come face to face with the Earth Dwarves and Nerubians of Azl-Kahet.
There will also be new areas for players to explore, including Azl-Kahet – that’s where those Nerubians will be, I assume – and other places like the Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, and Hallowfall.
There is a trailer. There’s a giant sword in there.
There are also a few new features. The Earthern Dwarves are an all new playable allied race, the level cap is expanded to 80 and heroes can earn new abilities from Hero Talent trees, and there’s also dynamic flying, which we haven’t seen yet but sounds much more exciting then undynamic flying.
One of the more exciting things in the brief mention we got of it is the idea of Warbands, which shares your bank and other bonuses with all your characters, good for people who like to collect a lot of alts.
You can order in advance World of Warcraft The war within now, and there’s also a beta test coming at some point. If you want more Blizzcon news, the Warcraft Rumble mobile game released at the show has a new Overwatch 2 hero you can play this weekend, and much more.
