What’s Included in the 2024 Roadmap for The War Within Expansion in World of Warcraft?

The wait is nearly over for World of Warcraft players! The new expansion, The War Within, will be playable in early access starting August 22, 2024, and for all other players on August 26, 2024. This expansion promises to bring numerous updates, including heroic specializations, new mounts with Dynamic Flying, and much more.

Among the major additions, you’ll be able to explore 8 new dungeons, a brand-new raid available a few days after the official release, and discover the new race of Harronir, a mysterious race that appears to be the missing link between elves and trolls. Here’s a detailed overview of the roadmap for this expansion.

The roadmap for The War Within provides a glimpse of the upcoming events, though details are still limited. Here are the key points:

• Beta of The War Within: The beta is now available. You can access this version immediately by opting for the Epic Edition of the game.

• Early Access: Starts on August 22, 2024, for players who pre-order the Epic Edition. You’ll be able to play a few days before the official launch.

• Global Launch: The War Within will be available for all players on August 26, 2024.

• Season 1 Start: The first season of the expansion will begin on September 10, 2024, with availability for French players on September 11, 2024.

Although early access allows you to start the adventure on August 22, the first reset of the expansion won’t significantly impact the initial gameplay. Therefore, it’s not essential to purchase the Epic Edition solely to get ahead of other players.

Season 1 of The War Within will introduce a raid in Azj-Kahet, where you will face Nerubians empowered by the void’s might through Xal'Atah and its use of the Dark Heart. This threat adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing story.
