World of Warcraft: The War Within invites players to discover a new underground realm called Khaz Algar, located in the furthest region of Pandaria’s western shores, where they’ll discover the dark depths of the Nerubian empire, and the radiant underground region of the Arathi.

Once there, they’ll find Xal’atath, the Harbinger of the Void, who is leading Nerubian forces to threaten Azeroth. To stop him, all Horde and Alliance players will need to meet in the capital city of Dornogal to organize their forces and investigate the motives behind the Harbinger’s plans.

This expansion is the first in a trilogy of new DLCs coming to World of Warcraft, known as the Worldsoul Saga. The War Within will feature iconic characters such as Anduin Wrynn, Thrall, and Alleria Windrunner.

Players will be able to use Dynamic Flying, which was introduced in Dragonflight, to explore new regions, eight new dungeons, and the Nerub’ar Palace raid that will bring Alliance and Horde defenders together.

Here are all the new dungeons you’ll find in WoW: The War Within:

• The Rookery
• The Stonvault
• Priory of the Sacred Flame
• City of Threads
• Cinderbrew Meadery
• Darkflame Cleft
• The Dawnbreaker

The World of Warcraft: The War Within will also include new solo content called Delves that will be available throughout the world.
