The traitorous Sire Denathrius has been defeated . . . but the power of the Maw still grows. In Chains of Domination™, the upcoming first major content update for World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands, players will delve into new depths of the Jailer’s hopeless domain, seeking to understand the true nature of his malignant plans. Backed by the renewed might of the four Covenants, the champions of the Horde and the Alliance will take the fight for the Shadowlands to the seat of the Jailer’s power. But the Banished One has a terrible new champion in his service—a cruel instrument of despair conscripted by Sylvanas Windrunner, capable of instilling dread into the hearts of Azeroth’s heroes like no creature of the Shadowlands.

  • Discover the Mysteries of Korthia - The Jailer is searching for the key to fulfill his twisted designs—and he has pulled a fragment of a long-lost domain into the Maw itself to find it. Seek answers in ancient Korthia, the City of Secrets, and engage in new quests and outdoor activities.
  • The Covenants Strike Back - With the strength of the kyrian, night fae, necrolords, and venthyr restored, embark on a campaign to unite the four covenants—and together, launch an assault against the Jailer in his home territory.
  • Raid the Sanctum of Domination - Brave treacherous, unexplored reaches of Torghast in a new 10-boss raid: the Sanctum of Domination. Encounter the true Eye of the Jailer, turn the tide against the Tarragrue, and come face-to-face with the Banshee Queen herself in a fateful confrontation.
  • New Mega-dungeon - Tazavesh, the Veiled Market—Gather your party and discover exotic wares and strange creatures in an eight-boss Mythic mega-dungeon set in a bazaar of the mysterious Brokers, and culminating in a high-stakes heist to steal powerful artifacts from Azeroth.
  • And More - Gear up for Shadowlands Raid, Dungeon, and PvP Season 2, with a seasonal Mythic Keystone dungeon affix themed around the Jailer’s power; don new Covenant cosmetic armor sets that any class can wear; expand the powers of your Soulbinds and Conduits; add new mounts and pets to your menagerie; Unlock flying in the Covenants’ four domains; and much more.

Journey through the Dark Portal once again in World of Warcraft®: Burning Crusade Classic™! Originally released in January 2007, The Burning Crusade summoned the heroes of Azeroth to the shattered and fel-scarred realm of Outland to stop an invasion of the demonic Burning Legion. In 2021, Blizzard Entertainment’s recreation of the first World of Warcraft expansion will give players from around the world a chance to return to Outland as it once was to relive an era of timeless adventure—or experience what awaits beyond the Dark Portal for the first time.

  • Rediscover the Broken World of Outland – Flee the fel reavers who roam Hellfire Peninsula, dive deep beneath the swamps of Zangarmarsh to confront what lurks below, and clash with the demonic agents of the Burning Legion in the shadow of the Black Temple.
  • Join the Fight as a Blood Elf or Draenei – The ranks of the Horde and the Alliance grow! Fight for the Horde as the blood elves, seeking a new source of the arcane power that once sustained them, or join the Alliance as the draenei, exiles from Outland in search of a new home.
  • The Saga Unfolds Over Time – Content from the original game will roll out in phases, at a cadence paced for the WoW Classic community. Prepare for the opening of the Black Temple, gear up to confront the gods of Zul’Aman, and gather your allies to face the fury of the Sunwell.
  • Burning Crusade Features Reborn – Prove your prowess in the Arena PvP system, enhance your gear with the Jewelcrafting profession, take to the skies over Outland on flying mounts, choose whether to seek the aid of the Aldor or the Scryers of Shattrath, and much more.
  • Choose Your Era – Prior to Burning Crusade Classic’s release, WoW Classic players can decide whether to advance each of their characters to the Burning Crusade era with the rest of their realm, or to continue playing the original WoW Classic content on new Classic Era servers.
  • Included With Existing World of Warcraft Subscriptions – As with WoW Classic, anyone who subscribes to World of Warcraft can also play Burning Crusade Classic at no additional cost, giving players the freedom to enjoy multiple eras of Azeroth at their own pace.

    They literally mention a new zone... Korthia. A realm brought into the maw. This will be a new zone.

    REALLY BLIZZ ?
    We wait to get fly, only to have on the 4 old, not-relevant-anymore zones ?

    I have a suggestion, on the new zone, let the players only have the RP-walk only, cause running on maw was too fast already, you can slow down this too ! $^#@#@^&&
    You thought your comment was so good and original that you had to post literally the same thing on Wowhead as well?

    I have no idea what you're trying to say. But go off king.

    They are making TBC classic precisely because classic is dead

    Anduin's gonna turn evil, possessed by teh jailor, sylvanas is gonna be like "Oh noes im totally wrong" and helps free arthas in 9.2 and in 9.3 we gotta go fight with arthas/bolvar/sylvanas to free anduin from the jailor and suddenly its all happy in undead land and Anduin is either redeemed or turns even worse and joins the light and turns eviler.

    Anyone could throw this around, it has not been heavily discussed. And it's a good fit anyway .

    Didn't expect a Maw raid and Sylvanas raid boss so soon, more like in 9.2. It's suspicious how quickly the story moves along, we probably won't kill Sylvanas, just free Anduin and maybe meet Arthas at last.

    Sounds like we get a small new zone, that's cool, but the flying blurb says it's going to be unlocked in the 9.0 zones- bit annoying. I really hope we can at least mount in the new zone, I have my Twisted Corridors mount but many players don't.

    10 boss raid, cool beans. That's close to the ideal size. Not really impressed by the mogs they've showed so far however.

    Broker themed megadungeon is great. In fact more megadungeons is always great.

    It's one meaty 9.1 patch, way bigger than standard, so no surprise it arrives so late. I do think one of these elements, the dungeon in particular, should have been in 9.0.5 so we get some new content before, what, April or May at this point?

    we are getting 9.0.5 next month. did you think 9.1 would be out a month later?

    Classic will fail after the first content patch
    Classic will fail after Naxx when the content is depleted
    Classic will fail after TBC launch <- You are here
    Classic will fail after WotLK
    Classic will fail after Cata
    Classic will fail after MoP
    Classic will fail after WoD

    The best is yet to come!
    classic wont fail, it just loses players once they finish the content - which is pretty damn quickly.

    And why exactly is the dungeon Mythic only? Would it really have been that difficult to include a heroic version that could be done through LFD? I mean it's clearly not because they did it with Mechagon. Also, 15$ a month for a game thats over 15 years old? Should be free. Why I never got into Classic, i'm not paying for something that i already basically paid for to replay it 15 years later....

    Do i repay for my old gameboy games when I whip em into my gameboy? No.

    Activi$$ion-bli$$ is making games for one reason and one reason only. Money. You think they would SPEND money on making tbc classic if vanilla classic still made them enough ? The influx of players that game for classic is long gone and once again, they are trying to get a new influx of players for a few months with tbc classic.

    The way I interpreted it was, that the zone is the broker realm. Specifically, Korthia, City of Secrets. I hope it’s bigger than Mechagon
