A new season of Arena and Battleground conflict and rewards has started.

Warlords Season 2 will be ending as soon as a few weeks from now.

Timewalking is back and we’re heading back into five challenging Wrath of the Lich King dungeons.

Blackrock Foundry is open. Are you ready?

In Warlords of Draenor, players can use Apexis Crystals to buy new gear, collectable items, and even Followers. With enough Crystals, even those who are having no luck with the RNG goblins can get new and powerful gear to help them take their adventures in Azeroth even further.

Just when you thought you’d become comfortable (as comfortable as one can get in a Gladiator pit) with Highmaul, we thought it was time to shake things up and share a preview for our next Raid – Blackrock Foundry – as well as announce the latest World Raid boss, Rukhmar who will make his debut at the same time.

Highmaul is the seat of power for the Gorian Empire, the ogre civilization that ruled Draenor for generations until the arrival of the draenei. A massive city that belies the ogre reputation for brutish stupidity, Highmaul is full of bustling markets, wealthy nobles, and the roar of the Coliseum crowd echoing through the streets of the slums.

Hello and welcome to the Blood Elf edition of Artcraft! We know that many of you have been waiting for this update, so I’ll just provide some quick background and then get straight into the imagery.

The armies of Azeroth have pushed back through the Dark Portal and across Draenor, and now the time has come to enter Highmaul. Here's your first look at the Tier 17 armor sets you’ll find waiting for you there.

It’s time to take your place among legends—Warlords of Draenor, the fifth World of Warcraft expansion, is now live. Upgrade digitally to begin your adventures in Draenor immediately, or pick up a physical copy at a store near you.

Beyond the Dark Portal, clouds of war grow ever darker. It’s up to the heroes of Azeroth to put a stop to the Iron Horde before they renew their efforts to invade Azeroth. Watch the new Age of Iron Trailer now and prepare to take your place on the front lines.

Hi, I’m Chris Robinson, senior art director of World of Warcraft. In this last installment of this four-part Artcraft series, WoW community manager Bashiok sat down with a few of the level designers who created Nagrand to pick their brains a bit more on the process of creating the zone.

Join us Wednesday, October 29 at 11:00 a.m. PDT for a special live stream direct from Ashran. Designers Brian Holinka and Chris Kaleiki will be joined by community manager, Josh “Lore” Allen to provide commentary and share insights on all that Ashran has to offer.

Your airwaves are about to be invaded by the Iron Horde with our latest Warlords of Draenor commercials. Check them out below, but word to the wise: it’s best to try not to make eye contact.

As we completed our Lords of War video series, Blizzard creative developers sat down to discuss the project and document the process of bringing the epic stories of Draenor’s most savage warlords to light.

The Iron Horde invasion has begun. . . . Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide is now live, and this pre-expansion update introduces tons of new content and features to the game. 

Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide is scheduled to crash into Azeroth on Tuesday, October 14.  Featuring new content heralding the Iron Horde incursion, updates to the skills and abilities for every class, and a host of gameplay adjustments, this overture to Warlords of Draenor is coming at you armed to the teeth.

In this series of blog posts, we’re giving you a closer look at Garrisons. This third part is focused on Followers – the people who populate your home base, do your bidding, and come together to form a small army to take on what the Iron Horde is going to throw at you.

There are plenty of opportunities in Warlords of Draenor who are looking for some new adventures. With four new level-up dungeons and four maximum level dungeons, your bound for the fast track into danger, mayhem, and perhaps for a bit of shiny new loot.

You’ve been beaten and bloodied, laser beamed and chomped, and you’ve certainly earned the opportunity to take a breather. The current season of the Brawler’s Guild is coming to a close once Patch 6.0.2 goes live, but you’ll be back in action before you know it.

In this series of blog posts, we’re giving you a much closer look at how Garrisons are shaping up and how you can expect to interact with them in Warlords of Draenor. This second installment maps out the buildings that make up a fully armed and operational Garrison.

To help you  get prepared for the upcoming Warlords of Draenor Patch 6.0.2 release, we’ve uploaded the patch data to the background downloader. By downloading the patch in advance, you’ll be ready to get in-game and start playing as soon as the expansion goes live!

Warning: Here be spoilers!* Go no further! Turn back now before it’s too late! You have been warned!

The level 90 boost is no longer available. Please visit the Battle.net Shop for the new Level 100 Character Boost. For those looking to receive the free character boost now, but also want those sweet Collector’s Edition physical items, we’ve set up a process to ensure you can do both.

Welcome to the first in an ongoing series of programming- and engineering-focused articles that, over time, will cover some of the technical nuts and bolts that go into creating and running World of Warcraft.
