New Arathi Highlands Campaign
Tensions between the Horde and Alliance are flaring, and players will join familiar faces like Faerin Lothar, Danath Trollbane, and Gey'arah to help keep things from escalating!
While we will not go into spoilers, players who complete the new campaign will receive the Rise of the Red Dawn achievement,
alongside the following cosmetics: Lamplighter's Pauldrons,
Stromgarde Tabard (Alliance) and
Hammerfall Tabard (Horde).
Lorewalking
Lorewalking gives players the opportunity to relive the most important lore in Azeroth's history. In this patch, you will play through key storylines like Arthas's fall, Xal'atath's past, and the secrets of the Ethereals.
Overcharged Delves
A new hard mode for Delves with new traps, rares, and a trait system that can turn the new hazards into advantages, if you play it smart. Players will also unlock an upgradeable belt that will increase in item level over the course of the patch.
Single-Button Assist
The Single-Button Assistant is a new Accessibility feature that casts your entire rotation with a single button, but at 0.3-second global cooldown cost. You will not be pulling top-tier parses with it, but that is not really the point. It is about lowering the barrier and making the game more accessible.
Turbulent Timeways III: Battle for Azeroth Joins the Rotation
Turbulent Timeways is back for another 6-week rotation, this time, Battle for Azeroth makes its debut. Players can complete six BfA dungeons and there is a new Timewalking vendor located in Boralus and Dazar'alor, offering new rewards. Completing the Turbulent Timeways offers the dragon mount with a pirate hat you see in the image below.
The Greedy Emissary
The Diablo 4 x WoW crossover event returns. This time, players can earn a new mount and buy recolors of the updated high-definition Tier 2 sets that were available during the WoW's 20th anniversary event celebration.
