Game News WoW The War Within: a masterful cinematic on the release date of the new World of Warcraft expansion
No BlizzCon in 2024, but expect Blizzard to talk about its upcoming video games this year. It must be said that before the Xbox Games Showcase last Sunday, two titles from their portfolio were expected before the end of 2024 without further details. We now have a release date for Diablo 4: Vessel of the Hatred and for World of Warcraft: The War Within.
Blizzard at the Xbox Games Showcase
Since Oc tober 2023, Activision Blizzard King officially belongs to Microsoft. Although the consequences of this acquisition, formalized in January 2022, are many, we can already see several of them. In addition to certain licenses ending up in Xbox Game Pass (hello Black Ops 6), Blizzard is now making its announcements under the Xbox flag. So goodbye to BlizzCon, at least in its current format, and hello to the Xbox Games Showcase.
Something that was observed on Sunday. During this year’s Xbox Games Showcase, Blizzard was between two Xbox announcements (which we summarized in this summary article). The studio took the opportunity to announce the release date after a long, bloody film Date of the next Diablo 4 expansion but also the date of the next World of Warcraft expansion.
WoW The War Within: the outage date!
Before announcing the date long awaited by MMORPG fans, Blizzard took its time. The studio broadcast a long film in which it looked back at each expansion released so far. A strange choice that probably caused confusion among viewers during the broadcast. They all passed to make way for World of Warcraft: The War Within, the eleventh expansion of WoW. Then we see again Xal’Atath, the elven messenger of the void who is one of the main antagonists of this new content.
Then we discover what we believe to be the new underground region of Khaz Alghar, in a great cinematic whose secret only Blizzard knows. Already expected between the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it is now confirmed: The War Within will be released on Battlenet on August 26th.
