World of Warcraft gets 3 new allied races per faction. We will tell you which races will join the Horde and Alliance!
With Patch 8.0, “World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth” begins. This war mainly focuses on the conflict between the Horde and Alliance.
Because the war heavily drains resources, both factions are seeking new allied races. Players will be able to unlock a total of 3 new allies for the Alliance and 3 more for the Horde – more will follow throughout the addon.
Update 11.02.2018: The article has been updated with new information and further links to the allied races.
However, the different races do not simply join the respective factions; they must first be convinced by player characters and other important figures of Azeroth.
The new races will also be playable! This means there will be a total of 6 new races, each with their own racial ability and individual customization options.
Once the races are unlocked, players can create a character of the respective race. New heroes start already at level 20.
Anyone who takes the effort to level a character of the new species to level 110 will unlock a “race-specific armor set”. This is transmogifiable and not bound by the normal restrictions (cloth, leather, chain, plate). This means that even a mage can run around in the “heavy” armor of a Zandalari troll! However, only members of the allied race can wear this armor! For example, only a Void Elf can use the clothing of the Void Elves.
As is customary for independent races in World of Warcraft, the Allied Races also have some peculiarities. They possess different class combinations or special racial abilities. We present some of them in these articles:
Apart from the races mentioned above, additional groups will also join the Horde and Alliance in Battle for Azeroth. Some of them have already been confirmed, such as “brown orcs”, while others are still pure speculation, such as the Vulpera.
