For those jumping into World of Warcraft today, you may notice that the shadows seem longer – darker, perhaps even more hungry.
That is because the content update for The War Within 11.2 Ghosts of K’aresh is now live, bringing the threat of Dimensius, the All-Devouring to the forefront of our monthly existential crisis problems. He is a big hungry blueberry, and everyone kinda needs to stop what they are doing and sort him out.
Take a squiz at his cosmic malevolence in the hot new content trailer:
Of course besides the hungry hungry voidwalker, there is a new zone, quests and dungeons to explore:
- New Zone: K’aresh
- A fragmented world that spans multiple fractured islands, this once-thriving world shows hints of its former glory where the Ethereals have worked to maintain some semblance of life.
- New Player Hub: Tazavesh, the Veiled Market
- The Brokers return and they are bringing their market with them, out of the Shadowlands and into K’aresh. (Also returning as a Mythic+ dungeon).
- New Upgradeable Gear Item: Reshii Wraps (artifact cloak)
- To exist on K’aresh, and even to thwart security systems of the new raid, players will not only need to think like an Ethereal, but in some cases, will need to BE one. This artifact cloak will enable players to take on an energy form to see the world through an Ethereal’s eyes.
- Season 3, starting on 13 August AEST / UTC+8: New Raid, Dungeon and Mythic+ Season
- Manaforge: Omega: A new 8-boss raid, the champions of Azeroth must make their way through Manaforge: Omega to stop the resurrection of Dimensius (Spoiler: they don’t which makes for an insanely epic encounter in the raid).
- Eco-Dome Al’dani: A 3-boss dungeon, players will need to confront a group of Wastelanders who have learned of this secret eco-dome and invaded it.
- Note: All season 3 dungeons are available today in normal, heroic and Mythic 0 difficulties, with Mythic+ being available starting 13 August AEST
We covered a whole lot of these radical new features in our developer interview, delving into some of the crazier portions – such as interdimensional treasure hunting, turning yourself into a form of pure energy and whether the cool aesthetic of bandages can be used for fashion, so make sure to check it out.
There was also a hot tip from Stephanie Yoon regarding the Ecological Succession content with Ve’nari – mentioning that the ending of that quest content is apparently pretty dang cool. So with the content live, lets find out together what she meant by that.
See you in K’aresh!
