The Nerubian army floods the beach of Tranquill in the first minutes of World of Warcraft: The War Within. Thousands of magical projectiles whizz across the horizon, arachnoid infantry hack the armor of our troops to pieces.
As Orc Warlocks, we throw ourselves into battle, a water spirit at our side pushing back the enemy troops, but General Thrall can barely hold the line.
The intro to The War Within is a strongly staged invasion on the beach, which then leads into a siege battle around a dwarven fortress.

It feels like Blizzard is finally ready to throw off the shackles of the old WoW and take World of Warcraft into the next generation.
In recent years, WoW has seemed too old-school, too unambitious, too little staged. Why couldn’t we have Game of Thrones-style aerial battles between dragons in Dragonflight?
Blizzard had hardly any competition in the MMO segment for many years, but now Funcom wants to saw at their chair with the most powerful blockbuster brand that Hollywood can currently muster. Dune Awakening, a work in Unreal Engine 5 with the directorial power of Oscar-winner Greg Freiser in barreling in fast — and it looks like Blizzard is up for the challenge. The War Within blew us away during a one-day hands-on event in London and made a lasting impression.
Reading tip: Exploring Azeroth is one of the most beautiful WoW novels about the area where The War Within starts.
The War Within: A new era of staging
Right at the beginning, an exciting intermediate boss awaits – the Queens Guard Zitrix, who leads the troops for the beach invasion.

She gathers a whole line of Warspinner bodyguards around her – time to hop on our trusty Dragonflight dragon to get an overview of the battlefield and find weak points in the enemy’s defense.
