Blizzard Entertainment has teased a stunning new content drop for the ever-popular MMO World of Warcraft. This three-part epic saga, the Shadowlands expansion, will bring players into an all-new realm of adventure, opportunity, and rewards.
The Shadowlands saga picks up as the forces of Azeroth launch an assault on the Burning Legion’s home realm in an attempt to put an end to the planetary-scale invasion of the legions. The terrifying powers that live in the Shadowlands have managed to keep the Legion’s forces at bay, but the cost of containing them was great. Now players must journey to the depths of the Shadowlands and reclaim the lost secrets of the great tower within its darkest corners.
Players will explore a variety of new zones, such as the majestic forests of Ardenweald, the sun-drenched planes of Revendreth, the dark fortresses of Maldraxxus, and the kingdom of Bastion. Each zone promises to provide a unique experience and bring players closer to the Shadowlands’ ultimate assailants.
Along the way, they will be able to recruit a variety of allies to aid them in their fight, including necromantic armies of the undead or the brutal sentinels of Maldraxxus. Players will also make new acquaintances in the form of covenants, powerful organizations found in each of the Shadowlands’ four zones that they can undertake quests and challenges for in order to gain great rewards.
Of course, the ultimate goal of the Shadowlands expansion won’t be easy: save the Shadowlands from an ancient menace and restore balance to the natural order of things. With improved character customization options and a new level cap of sixty, the Shadowlands promises to be one of the most exciting experiences in the World of Warcraft universe.
The Shadowlands expansion will launch on August 25th, 2020. Players can purchase it through the official Blizzard Store or platform of their choice for a suggested retail price of $49.99.
