Pre-expansion update

WoW: The War Within pre-patch 11.0 drops on July 23 and adds the following:

  • Warbands, a new feature that expands WoW’s account-wide progression to your other characters, even those in different factions.
  • Skyriding, which expands Dragonflight’s Dragonriding system to over 400 other flying mounts.
  • Cross-realm guilds, a much-requested system that does exactly what it says on the tin.
  • The Radiant Echoes pre-patch event, where players have to fight the spirits of enemies from Azeroth’s past in one of three zones: Searing Gorge, Dustwallow Marsh, or Dragonblight.

Early access

By pre-ordering WoW: The War Within’s most expensive edition, you can play the expansion early, starting Aug. 22. It’s the first time Blizzard has let players purchase early access to a WoW expansion, and it’s a controversial change.

Global launch

WoW: The War Within launches fully on Aug. 26. It adds the following content:

  • The Khaz’Algar continent with four zones and eight dungeons.
  • A new campaign quest that sees you defending Azeroth from the shadows below.
  • Hero Talents that let you further specialize your character after level 70.
  • Delves—a new type of bitesize dungeon you can complete in 10 to 15 minutes.
  • The Earthen as a playable Allied Race.
  • A new PvP Battleground, Deephaul Ravine.

Season one

WoW: The War Within season one starts on Sept. 10 and commences the expansion’s first Mythic+ and PvP seasons. Here’s everything coming in The War Within season one:

  • A new Mythic+ season, with four new and four returning dungeons.
  • A new PvP season, with Rated Battleground Solo Queue.
  • The Nerub’ar Palace raid, with eight bosses, available from Sept. 17.
  • Class tier sets from the Nerub’ar Palace raid and Great Vault.
