Battle for Azeroth will soon receive new features. In a statement, the creators of World of Warcraft discuss upcoming content and the first Mythic+ season.
Shortly after the launch of Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard published a “small roadmap” announcing the upcoming features. In the coming weeks, WoW fans can expect a raid, warfronts, and seasons for PvP and PvE.
Mythic+ dungeons are getting a season
Battle for Azeroth is the fastest-selling expansion of all time, and Blizzard will soon feed the game with new content. On September 4, the first season for PvP in Battle for Azeroth and for Mythic Keystone dungeons will open.
Mythic+ seasons are coming: A special innovation in Battle for Azeroth will be seasons for Mythic Keystone dungeons. In “Mythic+” instances, players can face increasingly difficult challenges and compare themselves on official leaderboards.
With an upcoming patch, there will be “seasonal affixes” which are enhancements for the enemies in dungeons that will apparently change with each season. The first seasonal affix will be “Infested,” based on the corrupted dwellers of the raid Uldir.
Participation in the seasons will also yield seasonal achievements, the keymaster, and the key conqueror of Battle for Azeroth: Season 1.
The PvP season begins: With the upcoming PvP season, players can collect “conquest points,” which will allow them to open a weekly reward chest in their PvP headquarters in Boralus or Atal’Dazar.
Even though there was some criticism, the new PvP system with the war mode has drawn many players into PvP for the first time. Blizzard continues to work on this system by making adjustments to the balance.
More new content is coming soon
In the statement, Blizzard also discusses some of the already known features that have been announced for Battle for Azeroth but have not yet been implemented.
Warfronts are likely coming “soon”: In the warfronts, players from the Horde and Alliance fight for strategically important points in Azeroth. They capture them for their faction and unlock special features, such as world bosses in the respective area for a few days.
The first warfront will be Stromgarde, a PvE event for 20 players in Arathi Highlands. The Alliance will control Stromgarde first, while the Horde will attack. Warfronts are expected to be made accessible “in the coming weeks.”
Uldir is coming on September 5: On September 4 (for Europe likely Wednesday, September 5), the first raid of Battle for Azeroth will be available: Uldir.
Uldir is an ancient facility of the Titans, housing the failed experiments of the Old Gods. You will encounter eight bosses in Uldir, including Zul and the gruesome abomination G’huun.
Additional updates are in progress: In the future, further allied races such as the Zandalari trolls and the Kul Tiran humans will also be available. More details regarding these and yet-to-be-announced content will come at a later time.
