Warlords of Draenor sends Azeroth’s heroes beyond the Dark
Portal on a desperate mission to save their world from the vicious
Iron Horde—a formidable army of the most infamous orc clans from
Warcraft’s battle-scarred history. As players explore the savage
alien world of Draenor, they’ll encounter fierce new foes, befriend
unlikely new allies, oversee the construction of a mighty base to
withstand the orc onslaught, and forge their own legend from the
raw materials of the past.
“With the 20th anniversary of Warcraft and the 10th anniversary
of World of Warcraft taking place this month, now is the perfect
time to re-explore the series’ roots—and to reinvent one of its
greatest conflicts for a whole new generation of players,” said
Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
“Warlords of Draenor contains some of the most epic and thrilling
content we’ve ever created, and the included level 90 character
boost makes it easier than ever for anyone to jump right into the
action.”
Warlords of Draenor adds new features and a world’s worth of
exciting new content for World of Warcraft players:
- Explore a Savage World: Explore
the hostile world of Draenor, home of the orc and draenei races, as
it once existed, and adventure in all-new zones alongside
characters central to Warcraft history.
- Build Your Garrison: Establish
and expand your own customizable stronghold on Draenor, and gather
NPC followers to collect resources and embark on missions under
your command.
- Jump to Level 90: Boost one
character of your choosing to be instantly ready to explore the
wilds of Draenor, making it easier than ever to enjoy the latest
content with your friends.*
- Adventure to Level 100: Reach
new heights of power and unlock bonuses to further enhance your
abilities on your way to the new level cap of 100.
- …And More: Take on an array of
Dungeons, Raids, and Challenge Modes; seek out otherworldly pets
and mounts to add to your collection; engage in exciting world PvP
in Ashran—no matter what kind of content you enjoy, new challenges
and rewards await.
