This Week in WoW, catch up on the latest World of Warcraft news from the last week!

World of Warcraft: The War Within Early Access Now Live!

Get back in the fight as you defend Azeroth from the shadows below. Journey through never-before-seen subterranean worlds filled with hidden wonders and lurking perils, down to the dark depths of the nerubian empire, where the malicious Harbinger of the Void is gathering arachnid forces to bring Azeroth to its knees.

World of Warcraft’s next expansion—The War Within—will launch in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand at the same time globally. Wherever you live and whatever faction you represent, you can be part of one globally unified front as the way into the Khaz Algar opens.
Check the details below for the exact time you can begin logging in to explore all that this new expansion has to offer.
The War Within will go live globally on August 26 at 3:00 p.m. PDT. Players who pre-purchase the Epic Edition can also get bonus content—Gryphon Rider Sets and Squally’s Siblings.
