World of Warcraft: The War Within Release Date Announced and Much Closer Than Expected

The Xbox Games Showcase was a memorable event, and among the many announcements was the reveal to the world of World of Warcraft: The War Within‘s release date. The tenth expansion of Blizzard’s MMORPG will be released much earlier than expected, as the launch window was to be released at the end of 2024, possibly in November like the last two expansions, but finally it will be released on August 26.

We are just two and a half months away from the launch of the Worldsoul Saga, a historic moment in the present and future of World of Warcraft with an epic story spanning three expansions: The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan. If you can’t wait, you can get three days of early access to the official release date by purchasing the Epic Edition or Collector’s Edition of the game.

The World of Warcraft: The War Within is now open

The beta for the new World of Warcraft expansion began on June 5, and you can sign up for it on the game’s official website. If you are selected, your Battle.net account will be granted access, but you can also automatically gain access to the beta by purchasing the game’s Epic Edition or Collector’s Edition.

This November marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of World of Warcraft, the game that popularized the MMORPG genre like no other. Now, the tenth expansion has an official release date, in a summer when the MMORPG genre has been booming with great titles like Final Fantasy XIV and The Elder Scrolls Online with its new expansions.
