Read more about some of the new features that are arriving with the Battle for Azeroth pre-patch.

War Mode, PvP Talents, and More
War Mode tears down boundaries and server rule-set distinctions, allowing players on any realm to decide when they want to jump into a world PvP experience full of like-minded players in the ongoing battle between Horde and Alliance.


Legion PvP Post-Season
Join in the PvP action and earn some new gear just in time for the launch of Battle for Azeroth.


World of Warcraft Communities
Bring your friends and family of the same faction together cross-realm through our new World of Warcraft Communities feature.


Patch Notes
Coming Soon

Don’t Forget: Update Your Drivers!
To make the most of Battle for Azeroth and avoid potential issues, it’s important to update to the latest DirectX 12 drivers. Please note that AMD and Intel GPUs will default to DX12, while NVIDIA drivers will remain at DX11 with the option to update at a later time.

There’s more to come in the days ahead, and it won’t be long until the Battle for Azeroth expansion launches in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand simultaneously on August 14*. For more information on when the expansion goes live in your region visit our announcement post.

    There goes my intent of having all artifact appearances. I guess I can't work well under stress.

    Ugh. I only want the Mistweaver appearance, but I can't do anything with this latency epidemic. Been going on for the last week.

    is it just me or does the shadow form for priests look different in that youtube vidio that previews the patch content? I don't see the same neon purple glow that we have on live, maybe I'm crazy......

    It's not really pushing though....they are just trying to give some kind of incentive for the people who already care about it. If they were 'pushing' it then there would be a desirable reward that even people who dislike pvp would want - I don't see any of that here, they aren't dangling any crazy rewards over our heads that make people feel forced to participate in pvp.

    Quick question! Will the artifact destroy quest stop existing after the pre patch or not? The one with the magnitude in silithus!
