World Of Warcraft Details The New Shadowlands New Player Experience

The upcoming World of Warcraft Shadowlands expansion will not only introduce endgame content but will also change the whole new-player experience. Instead of beginning their journey from their respective racial starting zones, new players will start out in a shared zone where they’ll be tasked with searching for a missing expedition for their respective factions.

“An expedition has gone missing, and you have been called to be a part of a new crew of novice adventurers charged with discovering what’s become of them. As with many such journeys, you’ll find yourself as part of a crew aboard a ship bound to their last known location. When things take a turn for the worse, you’ll make landfall on the island of Exile’s Reach.”

Upon reaching Exile’s Reach, players will take on tasks of increasing difficulty while learning about the game mechanics until they reach level 10. At the end of the new player experience, players will go up against two new bosses in a 5-man mini-dungeon that can also be completed solo if you want to. New World of Warcraft players will automatically start in the new starting zones while veteran players will have the option to start in their respective racial towns like in the old days.
