After a very long wait the new Word of Warcraft update is finally live! Shadowlands: Chains of Domination brings with it a whole new zone to explore, more levels to grind for the Covenant and (soon) new raid and mega-dungeon.
Here's the general overview of the big new features as revealed at BlizzCon 2021 :
- A new subzone in The Maw is opening up called Korthia, City of Secrets.
- The Maw is becoming a lot friendlier as the four Covenants are invading it and establishing a permanent foothold. Players will be able to use their mounts and, though we don't know how, disable the Eye of the Jailer so they can spend more time exploring the zone each day.
- A new raid, the Sanctum of Domination, will have 10 bosses including Kel'Thuzad, the Terragrue (the big monster from Torghast), the Eye of the Jailer, and Sylvanas Windrunner herself.
- There'll be new story quests and a Covenant campaign to complete, though it sounds like the Covenant campaign will be the same regardless of which Covenant you're in.
- A new eight-boss mega-dungeon called Tazavesh, the Veiled Market will take players on an interdimensional heist through a mysterious Broker bazaar filled with strange mysteries and, oh yeah, a pirate dragon.
- A bunch of smaller additions too, like more Covenant Renown levels and rewards, improvements to Torghast to make it less punishing, and a new season for PvP and Mythic+ dungeons.
Sounds exciting, and I'm loving the look of the flying mounts! So what are you waiting for - go check it out!
