Battle For Azeroth

As the Battle for Azeroth alpha chugs along, we're getting a better and better picture of what to expect from each of the expansion's six new zones.

At last week's WoW Media Day, Blizzard Watch heard some big news about Azerite Armor during our interview with Travis Day and Jimmy Lo, Senior Producer and Senior Concept Artist (respectively) for World of Warcraft.

 

Battle for Azeroth will feature at least eight new Allied Races — four of which you have access to as soon as you pre-order the expansion, and another four that will be released during the expansion itself.

Every World of Warcraft expansion gets a tie-in novel, but in addition to its novel, Battle for Azeroth is also getting a pair of novellas -- both of which are included as bonuses if you purchase the game's Collector's Edition.

 

If you (or a friend) are looking forward to Battle for Azeroth but, for one reason or another, haven't played Legion, you're in luck.

Well, maybe a little less, since we’re a week into April and Battle for Azeroth will be launching in mid-August, but we’re still looking at the end of Legion. If there’s any stuff you were trying to get done like the Mage Tower, now’s the time.

Let’s talk about Blizzard games.

Blizzard recently had a WoW Media Day for fansites, and they went all out to make this a press release worth remembering.

Earlier this week, Blizzard was kind enough to invite several media outlets to a special event where they gave us a preview of upcoming Battle for Azeroth content.
