Shadowlands

In preparation for today's launch of Shadowlands, Blizzard got professional prop makers and cosplayers Hench and Scrap Foundry in Australia to make them some of the weapons that players will be collecting this expansion.

Ah, expansion day in World of Warcraft!

By the time this post goes live, we'll have less than half a day before Shadowlands officially makes its worldwide debut.

Opposite of Icecrown Citadel and at the center of the Maw lays Torghast, Tower of the Damned.

Sometimes it's hard to navigate from old content to new and back again in the opening days of the expansion.

When we arrive in Shadowlands next week, there will be some significant changes to loot acquisition compared to Battle for Azeroth.

Are you looking to test your skills in Torghast, the ever-changing roguelike dungeon of WoW Shadowlands?

You don't want to be in the Maw.

The Flight Master's Whistle -- an item which we've grown used to having in recent expansions, especially when we want to get around the map quickly for World Quests -- will not be making a return in Shadowlands.

With Shadowlands set to open in just four days, Blizzard has started a new media blitz, providing interviews with Wowhead and other sites, as well as releasing their own survival guide video.
