Spoilers

World of Warcraft's next expansion The War Within has entered its alpha testing phase, and in doing so has revealed that a major -- some might say "beloved" -- Azeroth location has been destroyed at the start.

Dragonflight patch 10.2.5 is now live and part of this patch's content is a set of epilogue quests to close out the Dragonflight story while beginning to set the stage for the next World of Warcraft expansion, The War Within, coming later this year.

In a huge surprise earlier this week, the World of Warcraft team released a new story cinematic for Shadowlands patch 9.2 titled Shattered Legacies.

I guess I should spoiler tag this post, huh?

Okay, so if you're the kind of person who cares about seeing the cinematics in the game, and thus wanted to avoid finding out how the Sylvanas fight in Sanctum of Domination ends until you got to clearing it yourself, how did you avoid those spoilers?

With patch 9.1 now on the PTR, we're facing a deluge of potential spoilers including new models, details about new zones, and much more.

Spoilers follow for World of Warcraft patch 8.3 and the Ny'alotha raid.

First up, this post contains spoilers for the end of the patch 8.3 storyline and Battle for Azeroth as a whole.

The surprise announcement of World of Warcraft patch 8.3 came with loads of info about what we can expect from the final major patch of Battle for Azeroth.

Let's just lay it out on the table: if you don't want spoilers for patch 8.2.5, the War Campaign, or the big cinematics that bring the story to its conclusion than this post is one you should not read.
