Blizzard Entertainment's reign over the MMORPG genre is nothing short of extraordinary, as the game has been going strong for over 14 years and is on the precipice of its release for its seventh expansion,
Battle for Azeroth. Here's another breathtaking cinematic from the legendary studio, entitled
Old Soldier:
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth looks to change things up by not only bringing in new kingdoms for both Alliance or Horde members to discover, but also introducing a change up in the races that are playable. Some of these races that have been NPCs (non-player characters) will be unlocked for players to discover for the first time, with sleight variations to current playable races such as: Dark Iron Dwarves (as opposed to just the Dwarves) for Alliance, and the Mag'Har Orcs (as opposed to just Orcs) for the Horde. They won't just look different though, their passive racial traits will feature more choices for players.
The game will feature an increase to
level 120 for the player cap, a new legendary to forge, new dungeons and raids, and a new PvP battleground to fight for.
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth will be released everywhere for Windows and macOS on
August 14th, 2018 with the 'Standard Edition' starting at
$49.99 USD, which comes with a free character boost to 110. The 'Deluxe Edition' which carries a bunch of digital extras for other Blizzard titles (
Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm,
Hearthstone, and
Diablo 3) will be available for
$69.99.
