Whose side are you on?

The inhabitants of Azeroth have managed to repel a surprise attack by the Burning Legion. The victory came at a high price: many noble heroes fell in battle, the blade of Sargeras inflicted a severe wound on the world. But there is an old split that will be even more difficult to overcome. The primordial mistrust between the Alliance and the Horde threatens to escalate into a new conflict - and no one can foresee how this will turn out for Azeroth.

New in Battle for Azeroth

Kul Tiras is the kingdom of the Alliance: Jaina Proudmoore's homeland has become a hotbed of intrigue and dark magic. You will have to fight with power-hungry pirates, witches using death magic, and mysterious priests of the sea.

Zandalar - Empire of the Horde: An ancient evil rests in these troll-inhabited lands, ready to awaken and subjugate the entire world. You will need to defeat maddened blood trolls, giant dinosaurs and titan creations.

New Allied Races: By pre-ordering, you can start forging ties with Highmountain tauren, Lightforged Draenei, Void Elves and Nightborne. This, in turn, will give you the opportunity to create new characters belonging to these races.

Islands that are not on the map: Team up in groups of three and fight cunning invaders (or players from the opposite faction). The islands are constantly changing, so many challenges await you.

Frontline battles: Take part in a massive 20-player co-op battle to reclaim strategic territory. Lead the troops and face the enemy commander in a new PvE mode similar to the battles in classic Warcraft strategies.

Heart of Azeroth: Receive the Heart of Azeroth, a legendary necklace, from the hands of Magni Bronzebeard himself. Fill your necklace with Azerite, a precious resource that has caused a conflict between the two factions, to add new properties to your armor.

Start enlisting the support of new Allied Races!

When you pre-order, you can see Azeroth through the eyes of a character belonging to one of the new allied races of Battle for Azeroth. Heroes of the Horde will be able to win over the Highmountain tauren and the nightborne, and the Alliance - the Lightforged draenei and Void elves. If you form an alliance with these races, you can choose them when creating new characters.

Before this or that race will side with your faction, you will need to fulfill a special set of conditions - to earn a reputation or complete certain tasks. Once these conditions are met, you will receive a special task that will allow your faction to enlist the support of the race. And if you can develop a character belonging to one of the allied races from level 20 to 110 - without using the services of leveling up, changing your race or faction, and also without getting levels under the “Invite a Friend!” Program, you get a special set of traditional armor of this race. A set is a set of decorative items that will later be available to all your characters of the corresponding race.
