Blizzard Entertainment has announced the launch of the highly anticipated World of Warcraft (WoW) content update, Dragonflight Embers of Neltharion, on May 2. The update promises to take players on an exhilarating adventure through the Dragon Isles, introducing a new zone, cross-faction guilds, and much more.
Players will be able to explore the mysterious underground world of Zaralek Caverns. Delve into the depths of this new zone and uncover its hidden secrets and treasures.
Cross-faction guilds are finally here. Players enjoying cross-faction instances can join the same guild as their opposite-faction friends, benefiting from shared chat and guild repairs.
Heroes of Azeroth must disrupt Fyrakk’s forces as they gather resources at Suffusion Camps located in the Azure Span and Ohn’ahran Plains. Successfully thwarting their efforts will lure Fyrakk and his disciples out for an epic confrontation.
Beginning the week of May 9, Dragonflight Season 2 will introduce new Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties for Neltharion’s secret laboratory. The new season also brings a new PvP Ladder and gear, seasonal affixes, and new dungeons to the Mythic+ rotation, including Brackhide Hollow, Halls of Infusion, Uldaman, Legacy of Tyr, Neltharus, Freehold, The Underrot, Vortex Pinnacle, Neltharion’s Lair.
Players will have the chance to breach Neltharion’s secret laboratory hidden within Zaralek Cavern. This is where Neltharion created the dracthyr and fell victim to the Old Gods’ whispers and corruption. The raid will be available in Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties starting the week of May 9.
