In this new upcoming expansion announced at Blizzcon 2019, we will apparently be seeing some major changes.
At the moment, closed Alpha tests are underway and many updates are being added constantly to improve our experience.
Unfortunately, we don’t have an exact release date yet, but game director Ion Hazzikostas has confirmed it will definitely be in 2020. As they usually launch expansions around July and August, it would be a safe bet to say it will probably be around this time period.
One of Shadowlands biggest new features is a Roguelike dungeon called Torghast, tower of the damned. This tower changes each time you enter and as you venture through the levels you earn new powers.
They have changed the level cap down to 60 and revamped where characters level up. There is also an entirely new starting zone that acts as an intro to new players.
There is a new character creation screen that a lot of players like because of how refined it is.
Here are the different editions available on pre-order:
- Base Edition:$40 (+-R750) Includes a pre-order of World Of Warcraft: Shadowlands along with immediate access to Death Knights for Allied races and Pandaren.
- Heroic Edition: $60 (+-R1100) Includes everything in the base edition along with a level 120-character boost, the ensorcelled Everwyrm flying mount, and a quest to get a new transmog set.
- Epic Edition:$80 (+-R1500) Includes everything along with 30 days of game time, the Anima Wyrmling pet, a special effect for your Hearthstone, and a special illusion effect for your weapon.
The official website has this to say about the storyline for World Of Warcraft: Shadowlands:
“Hidden realms of wonder and horror await any who would pass to the other side. The Shadowlands is home to an entire realm of the departed; it is a world between worlds whose delicate balance preserves life and death itself. As one of Azeroth’s greatest champions, you have been granted the power to cross over in body and soul. Now you must investigate a conspiracy to unmake the cosmos, and help Warcraft legends journey back… or fulfill their ultimate destiny.”
This is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the World Of Warcraft franchise and we will be keeping you up to date with all the latest news on this newest installment.
