Throughout right now’s Xbox Video games Showcase, Xbox and Blizzard unveiled the discharge date for the upcoming enlargement to World of Warcraft: The War Within. It is approaching August 26 of this yr.
At the moment, Blizzard confirmed off a cinematic trailer, although it did not actually present any new enlargement particulars. It centered on the angle of Xal’atath, a void entity that used to hang around inside a bizarre cursed knife that some characters have been carrying round, who’s intent on bringing a couple of new Black Empire with herlse fats the helm, and is making ready to muck up Azeroth’s World Soul in the method.
We have already gotten a number of appears on the adventures Blizzard is planning for us in Khaz Algar throughout our preview of the enlargement. We discovered that the enlargement kicks off by wrecking a beloved in-game location, and did a deep Q&A with recreation director Ion Hazzikostas about the whole lot we noticed. Blizzard and Xbox are apparently “experimenting” with a paid early entry interval, although gamers do not appear thrilled on the prospect.
You’ll be able to compensate for the whole lot introduced on the Xbox Video games Showcase proper right here, in addition to the whole lot Sony introduced at its current State of Play, the whole lot we’ve proven as half of this yr’s IGN Dwell, and the highlights from this yr’s Summer time Recreation Fest presentation.
