The War Within Season 1 Start Date & Time Countdown — Blizzard

Since 26 August 2024, the heroes of Azeroth have been exploring the underground world of Khaz'Algar, completing Delves and new Dungeons, testing out new builds, and facing the forces of the Nerubian empire, led by Xal'atath. That's all very exciting, but the competitive World of Warcraft (WoW) contingent is already max level and awaiting the launch of The War Within Season 1.

You can join us and get hyped for the release of The War Within Season 1 with a precise launch time and date, a countdown timer, and an overview of the content, so let's dive in!

Personally, I can't wait to see the new Nerub-ar Palace raid, and which top guild will claim a world-first clear.

The War Within Season 1 Content Overview

Everyone, even the Earthens, should know what a new season of WoW generally entails, and The War Within is no different. At the start of The War Within Season 1, the following content opens up.

PvP Season 1
Nerub-ar Palace raid (Normal & Heroic Difficulties)
Raid Finder Wing 1 of Nerub-ar Palace
Mythic 0 Dungeons
Four new World Bosses (one per new zone)
Heroic Seasonal dungeons

That's a lot of new content to look forward to, especially for those with a competitive spirit who plan on pushing their limits in Mythic Dungeons or smashing others in Rated Battlegrounds or Arena PvP.

During The War Within, even more content will become available. For example, on 17 September 2024, we'll see Mythic Nerub-ar Palace open up alongside the raid's Story Mode, Raid Finder Wing 2, and Mythic+ Dungeons! On 24 September, Raid Finder Wing 3 will open.
