World of Warcraft Dragonflight has been one of the best DLCs that the WoW community has seen in quite some time, and with the current patch being the last major content update for a while, players are always looking for new ways to get involved.
Now, The War Within is nearing release and we're going to run over how players will be able to dive in early.
World of Warcraft The War Within: How To Get Early Access
Blizzard revealed during the June 2024 showcase that WoW The War Within will be releasing sooner then expected.
Players will be able to dive into the brand new DLC on August 26, and August 22 if they have early access.
To obtain early access, players will need to purchase one of the top tier editions for The War Within, such as the Epic edition.
