The first public build of the Alpha of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is finally online! This is Build 33978 and its content is dataminable. This article brings together all the content discovered so far.
Among the new features, there is a very interesting new achievement:
- WoW's 16th Anniversary - Logged in during WoW's 16th Anniversary.
This is the achievement obtained during the 16th anniversary of WoW which will take place in mid-November 2020. Blizzard would plan a deployment of Shadowlands before this date?
This remains an assumption, do not take this "information" for granted, nothing is official (apart from the achievement)!
Major information
Here is a selection of the most interesting and important information discovered in this build.
SPOILERS!
- It seems that we find Baroness Vashj and Alexandros Mograine at Maldraxxus and that we deliver them during a scenario entitled "The Blade of the Primus"
- During the scenario "The Path of Totality", we relive the memories of the Night Warrior, her last moments. As a reminder, it might be Tyrande since she engaged in a dark ritual. However, it would seem that she did not die, since we would find her in Tourment.
- It seems that Kel'thuzad has returned to Maldraxxus and is behind dark machinations. Presumably, we stop it and sign a peace treaty: the First Maldraxxian Armistice!
