Time to fight N'Zoth!

World of Warcraft’s next big update adds new races and long-requested changes

Blizzard Entertainment has detailed the next big patch for World of Warcraft. The 8.3 update is Visions of N’Zoth, and it’s hitting the public test realm today. And it’s adding a lot.

This includes two new Allied Races: the fox-like Vulpera for the Horde, and the robotic Mechagnomes for the Alliance. This will give players two new races to try. The update is also bringing some changes that fans have been requesting for years, including a revamped Auction House that promises to make shopping easier.
