WORLD OF WARCRAFT: BATTLE FOR AZEROTH Releases New Cinematic At Gamescom; WoW's Best Expansion Launch Ever
Debuted at the Blizzard panel at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne today, "Warbringers: Azshara," is the third part of their cinematic stories tied to their latest expansion, Battle for Azeroth.
Blizzard Entertainment's cornerstone MMORPG, World of Warcraft, is fresh off the release of their seventh expansion, Battle for Azeroth, which, as to no one's surprise has been a hit. Although it's still early since its release on August 14th, that hasn't stopped this expansion from being the highest sold on day one of its release, beating out Legion (2016, the 6th expansion) Warlords of Draenor (2014, the 5th expansion), and Cataclysm (2010, the 3rd expansion) which were all tied at an estimated 3.3 million copies sold with a womping 3.4 million copies sold.
One of the largest reasons why players are flooding back to this over 14 year-old game is with every standard expansion purchase, players get one free level 110 character; this was the max level pre-Battle for Azeroth, meaning they can jump in without the hassles of doing any catch-up.
This is only the tip of the iceberg for this expansion as with most MMORPGs, the endgame is everything. In the coming weeks, the game looks to add a new type of PvE (Player versus Environment) called Warfronts, which pay homage to their RTS predecessor in the Warcraft lore, the first raid, Uldir, will release on September 4th, and they're working towards releasing "Allied Races," which brings some long-standing NPC races in the game to the playerbase.
In other WoW-related news, Blizzard held their panel at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, Germany earlier today, and released their latest cinematic from their series, Warbringers, a tie-in to Battle for Azeroth featuring major faction leaders and their origins.
Here's the latest cinematic entitled, "Warbringers: Azshara," with the origins of the Naga Queen herself:
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is the seventh expansion for the game, and available now for Windows PC and MacOS retailing at $49.99 USD.
