The new expansion of World of Warcraft is very close, at least for some lucky ones

The War Within, the new expansion for World of Warcraft, still does not have a release date, but Blizzard has announced a beta for it.

There are few events in the world of MMOs that are more exciting than a new expansion of World of Warcraft. The next one is called The War Within and although it doesn’t have a release date yet, we know it will come out during this 2024. But just because it doesn’t have a release date doesn’t mean we can’t try it. Because Blizzard has opened the possibility for interested players to have a first look before anyone else.

Blizzard has announced that The War Within will have a beta testing phase before its release. If you are interested, you just have to register on their website to get the opportunity to be part of those beta testers. However, you will need to be patient. Blizzard has confirmed that they will be regularly sending out new invitations as the testing period progresses, so even if you don’t get in during the first wave of invitations, that doesn’t mean all hope is lost.

If you receive the invitation, it won’t be as simple as downloading the expansion and starting to play. Blizzard has confirmed a series of steps that you will have to follow to start beta testing The World Within. Very simple steps, and in any case, it should be what you always do when a new expansion of the game comes out.

One of the reasons why The War Within generates so much excitement is that it is part of a trilogy of World of Warcraft expansions that will tell a joint story. Named the Soul of the World Saga, it will consist of The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan. While it is true that not many details have been revealed about the trilogy, we do know that in The War Within we will explore the underground realms of Khaz Algar. There we will encounter two new races: the ancient Earth Dwarves and the terrifying Neribians of Azj-Kahet.

The Alma del Mundo Saga is not all that is coming this year for World of Warcraft. Last year, Blizzards shared a roadmap of everything that is coming for the game, showing a year full of new content. Something they confirmed by stating their intention to release expansions more regularly, with less waiting time for them. Something that makes us suspect, along with the opening of this beta, that The War Within may be much closer than we suspect.

World of Warcraft twists your nostalgia in its upcoming update

Mists of Pandaria returns to World of Warcraft in the form of a remix, set to arrive in 2024, promising to be more than just a wave of nostalgia.

Few video games manage to reach 20 years with good health. Practically none do so with excellent health. However, World of Warcraft continues to demonstrate that this is possible. Approaching its twentieth anniversary on November 23, it is surprising that the game continues to operate and amaze the public. Always offering its players something new to keep them hooked a little longer.

The upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft is called The War Within, but we’ve already talked about that. However, that’s not the only thing Blizzard has prepared for its most iconic game in 2024. Because even before The War Within, there’s an update coming that will make veterans jump out of their chairs. Because World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is coming back, one of the most beloved expansions of the game. Only with a new twist.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria will return with a remix that will allow us to re-experience the expansion on World of Warcraft servers. The catch is that we’ll need to create a new character to do so. In return, we’ll gain much more experience than usual and get loot more abundantly, with more powerful effects than usual. With Mists of Pandaria, we can expect the arrival of abilities such as creating storms, transforming into a sphere of pure light, or conjuring powerful shields.

The downside is that all of this will be exclusively confined to the Mists of Pandaria remix. Unable to carry all of this over to our main game. To compensate, all this loot can be converted into a new currency, bronze, to acquire toys, mounts, and cosmetics. This is appropriate since all this loot will be transmogrifiable with the aesthetics of past expansions.

If you’re eager to play the Mists of Pandaria remix, it will be released in 2024. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a specific date for its launch. However, everything indicates that it will be before The War Within, the next expansion of the game.

We already know Blizzard’s roadmap for World of Warcraft in 2024

We already know Blizzard’s roadmap for World of Warcraft in 2024, which goes far beyond their next expansion, The War Within.

At the end of the year, it is important for any respectable company to have everything closed for the following year. Not only to have everything tied up, but to have a roadmap of the milestones that are intended to be achieved throughout the year. Especially if it is a video game company that has some kind of game as a service, or MMO. Since their fans, if there is something they desperately seek, is to always know in advance everything they can expect.

That is exactly what Blizzard has done before closing out this 2023 with its most beloved franchise: World of Warcraft. They have given us the game’s roadmap. Everything we can expect from the franchise for the upcoming year, which seems to be quite a lot.

Although the main event of 2024 will be the new expansion of the game, The War Within, it won’t be the only thing we can expect in the game. Before that, we will have three major patches, named Seeds of Renewal, Dark Heart, and The War Within Pre-Patch, which will include new events, zones, and improvements to the game. That in addition to the highly anticipated Season 4, which will reset the PvP and Mythic+ season, in addition to the expansion itself. As expected, it will include four zones, eight dungeons, and a new raid, as well as a campaign and a new race for the alliance, the Earthen.

But that’s not all. They have also specified everything we can expect from World of Warcraft Classic. And it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be little either. With Cataclysm Classic as the big expansion of the year, announced for early summer, throughout the year they will raise the maximum level to 60, introduce new runes, raids, and make adjustments to one of the big additions of this year: World of Warcraft Hardcore.

All of this points to the fact that, on paper, World of Warcraft fans are going to have a good year ahead. Something that we can only celebrate, hoping that the queues with each new patch do not exceed a couple of hours of waiting.
