The War Within is the opening chapter of a new saga called “The Worldsoul Saga” that throws players into a subterranean war.

A vision brings together familiar heroes Anduin and Thrall, leading them on a quest to uncover the secrets of the world beneath Azeroth.

The expansion features unseen subterranean zones filled with wonders and dangers. One specific location mentioned is the dark depths of the Nerubian empire, hinting at a possible clash with the insectoid race.

Xal’atath, the Harbinger, is the main antagonist. Her motives and her connection to the Void, a force of chaos in WoW lore, are shrouded in mystery.

While details are scarce, The War Within will likely raise the level cap and introduce new dungeons, raids, items, and gameplay features to keep players engaged.
