World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is now available for pre-purchase at selected retail outlets across Europe.


Picking up a Standard Edition pre-purchase box before the expansion’s release this summer* will let players upgrade their accounts to Battle for Azeroth immediately and begin the journey to recruit four new Allied Races! Pre-purchasing Battle for Azeroth also immediately grants the included level-110 character boost.

The pre-purchase retail box is only available before launch and doesn’t include a physical game disc—instead, everything is linked to the digital code inside. It can be applied to a Battle.net account and the content will be automatically downloaded through the Battle.net app, making Battle for Azeroth ready to play as soon as it’s released*.

For details and a full list of retailers carrying the pre-purchase box, check out blog post. Battle for Azeroth is also available for pre-purchase via Battle.net, where you can find out about upgrading to the Digital Deluxe Edition as well.


*World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth will launch on or before September 21, 2018. Pre-purchasing World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth makes available quest lines that enable players to access the Highmountain tauren, Lightforged draenei, Nightborne, and Void elves. To unlock Allied Races quest lines, players must have a level-110 character and have met specific questing and reputation requirements on the factions each Allied Race is aligned with. Players upgrading from World of Warcraft Starter Edition must wait for trial restrictions to be removed (up to 72 hours) before using character boost.
