Move over, WoW Classic – it’s live World of Warcraft’s time to shine, or it will be next week, that is, when the long-awaited Rise of Azshara finally launched for the production servers. We’ve been waiting for this patch ever since it was first announced at BlizzCon last November. Update 8.2 is currently on the PTR, launching for everyone next week.

“The Queen of Tides’ return is imminent! Rise of Azshara, the next major Battle for Azeroth content update goes live June 25 and is packed with many new features, including the addition of Essences to the Heart of Azeroth system; two new zones to explore, Nazjatar and Mechagon; Heritage Armor for tauren and gnomes; new Benthic gear; a raid that takes players into the depths of Azshara’s Eternal Palace; and much more.”
