Preparation for WoW: The War Within Full Release

World of Warcraft: The War Within is scheduled for a full release in August, and, like any expansion, it is expected to bring about significant changes. As a result, there are a few tasks that completionists should aim to complete before the launch.

The pre-patch for the expansion is currently live, concluding the previous PvP and Mythic+ seasons. Moreover, players can already experience several significant features from The War Within.

For the initial time, players can access Warbands, which enables them to connect several characters through a shared bank, items, achievements, and other functions. Additionally, there is a multitude of UI updates, the beginning of a brand-new questline, and an upcoming event set to debut next week.

Despite this, there is still a lot to accomplish before the previous expansion bids its final farewell.
