In Battle for Azeroth, the fall of the Burning Legion sets off a series of disastrous incidents that reignites the conflict at the heart of the Warcraft saga. As a new age of warfare begins, Azeroth's heroes must set out on a journey to recruit new allies, race to claim the world's mightiest resources, and fight on several fronts to determine whether the Horde or Alliance will lead Azeroth into its uncertain future.

  • Pre-purchase: Battle for Azeroth will be released on or before September 21, 2018.
  • Pre-purchase of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth makes available the questlines which enable players to access the Highmountain tauren, Lightforged draenei, Nightborne, and Void elves. To unlock Allied Races quest lines, players must have a level 110 character and have met specific questing and reputation requirements on the factions that each Allied Race is aligned with.
  • Digital Deluxe items will be available on or before the release date of the game.
  • Internet connection, Battle.net® registration, and Blizzard Battle.net desktop application required to play.
  • Requires World of Warcraft and Legion.

Early access to Allied Races
Pre-purchase Battle for Azeroth and begin your quest to recruit four new playable Allied Races. Heroes of the Horde can enlist the Highmountain Tauren and Nightborne, and champions of the Alliance can add the Lightforged Draenei and Void Elves to their ranks.

Explore two fabled kingdoms
As a champion of the Horde, travel to the empire of Zandalar to persuade the trolls to lend their naval might. As a defender of the Alliance, venture to the seafaring kingdom of Kul Tiras, home of Jaina Proudmoore, and rally its inhabitants to fight for your cause. Quest through 10 new levels to the new level cap of 120—then continue to grow in power through new World Quests, raids, dungeons, and more.

Plunder the islands of the Great Sea
Set out on Island Expeditions and conquer an ever-changing array of enemies, environments, and objectives. Battle in groups of three as you race against cunning rival intruders—or enemy players—to collect each island’s resources and fuel the war effort.

Charge into a Warfront
Fight on the battlefields of a large-scale, 20-player cooperative Warfront to claim a key strategic location. Capture resources to build your faction’s forces, lead the charge as your troops lay siege to objectives, and fight the enemy commander to claim victory in this new PvE mode inspired by classic Warcraft RTS battles.

Infuse your armor with titanic might
Seek out Azerite, an invaluable new resource that has emerged in the Legion’s wake. Imbue the Heart of Azeroth—a legendary neck piece entrusted to each hero by Magni Bronzebeard—with Azerite to customize your armor with new powers and traits.

Boost to level 110
Enter the raging conflict between the Horde and the Alliance prepared to survive on the front lines of a vicious new war.

Digital Deluxe Edition

World of Warcraft Mounts
Ride proudly astride the Seabraid Stallion mount as you fight for the Alliance, or prove your allegiance to the Horde with the Gilded Ravasaur mount. No matter the battle or adventure, you'll be ready.

World of Warcraft Baby Tortollan Pet
Whether you're fiercely battling other pets or simply want to put your feet up on its sturdy shell, Tottle the baby Tortollan pet's got you covered.

Overwatch goodies
Show your faction pride on the battlefields of tomorrow with Horde- and Alliance-themed voice lines for Torbjorn; emotes for Tracer; Anduin, Jaina, Sylvanas, and Saurfang sprays; and Kul Tiran and Zandalari player icons.

Hearthstone card back
The Azeroth is Burning card back will add firey style to your favorite Hearthstone decks. Just be sure not to set the whole board alight!

StarCraft II sprays
With new Horde and Alliance sprays, you can cover the map as you conquer your foes.

Heroes of the Storm mount
Prowl into the Nexus with your new Primal Flamesaber mount. With three color variants (Green, White, and Toast) you'll ride into battle in style.

    OK this is strange, though.

    Re: Wallpaper... no Gnomes or Pandas? So I guess I'm just a neutral side now eh. And is that a Night Elf or just a purple human?

    Beside that: Especially the Alliance wallpaper greatly reminds me of the military advertising snippets from the "Starship Troopers" movie. I wonder if this is a coincidence, or probably even a reference. You know, fascist military dominated culture and stuff.

    Well, I will then have to level Alliance alts first, there I can delete some level 1 placeholders. ^_^;
    TBH it is not that bad for me since I usually spend a day debating skin colour choice anyway. It is still the only thing you can't change after

A tag line that doesn't seem like the content lives up to it, "Declare your allegiance".
    Welcome to WoD 2.0!

    No gnomes or goblins, double human and orc - of course.

    An of course orc vs human art although it's more of undead vs human this time.

    It's a reference to the original Warcraft box art and the whole starting point of the conflict.

    Yeah, I know. But it doesn't make it any less boring.

    I think the Forsaken is a woman. All the ones with Sylvanas on the ramparts in the cinematic had boobs, and since these wallpapers show models used in the cinematic, we can assume it's one of them.

    why does blizz refuse to make tauren their actual size in their art lol

    Where do level 20 Draenei appear? Wanted to see new races in game. Saw many cows and elves of both kinds in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, but only 1 Draenei who quickly ran away.

    I dunno that face under helmet gave me impression that it was a dude. I think this undead is way too bit compared to troll guy. or troll guy together with tauren are wayy to small. But hey I can always crop picture to get out my faves.

    Wording is a little shady... can we actually PLAY allied races NOW?
    Vou surge can, with the exception of Dark Iron Dwarves and Zandalari Trolls.
