I'll be honest -- when we were first told that the Earthen would be an Allied Race with The War Within, I was pretty whelmed.

The first allies we encounter in The War Within are the Earthen, and thus it only seems natural that they are also the first Allied Race we can recruit as well.

Dragonflight patch 10.2 added a lot of new content to the game, so it may be a surprise for you to learn that one of the minor additions was a gold-sink vendor in the Valdrakken Black Market Auction House.

The War Within Season 1 begins the week of September 10, and with the opening of Nerub-ar Palace also arrives the first World Boss of the expansion, Kordac the Dormant Protector.

Yesterday’s Nintendo Indie and Partner Directs were full of a lot of cool announcements, but the one I’m most pumped for is Coffee Talk Tokyo. Coming out on Steam as well as on Switch, XBox and Playstation 5, the third entry in one of my favorite indie series is heading overseas to a café in Tokyo to make drinks, talk to the locals, and maybe change someone’s fate if you get an ingredient wrong. It’s a charming and wholesome series and it’ll be a day one purchase for me.

That said, I am concerned that this may be the second sequel in a row where Freya — my absolute favorite character — will be largely or completely absent. Hopefully she finds her way to Japan for this entry but I’m guessing we’ll need to cross our fingers that the new characters can match her presence.

While I try to remember the ingredients for the STMJ let’s answer some questions! I hear there may be exciting stuff happening in World of Warcraft this week? Let’s find out together!

The War Within is World of Warcraft's latest expansion and as with all previous expansions we'll be operating out of a major city that provides most of the services and NPCs a player needs.

World of Warcraft is celebrating the launch of The War Within with two Twitch items that can be earned by supporting your favorite streamers during the launch period.

As is traditional in World of Warcraft, the pre-patch prior to The War Within expansion came with a limited-time event with gear and collectibles: Radiant Echoes.

World of Warcraft's latest expansion The War Within will take players through the depths of Khaz Algar into the realm of Azj-Kahet where we'll battle against the machinations of the Harbinger of the Void Xal'atath.

The World of Warcraft development team released a new blog post yesterday on Hero Talents, and while it didn't go as in-depth as previous articles it does a nice job of summarizing all 39 flavors of new class fantasies.
