For the first time in World of Warcraft® history, the next expansion—Battle for Azeroth—will launch in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand at the same time. Wherever you live and whatever faction you fight for, you can be part of one globally unified front as the battle for Azeroth begins.
Check the details below for the exact time you can begin logging in to explore Kul Tiras—for the Alliance!— or Zandalar—for the Horde!—in World of Warcraft’s upcoming expansion.
Blizzard has posted this handy time guide so you know exactly when to try and login. Although gamers should expect login queues a mile long as millions of people try to fight this next digital war. Some of the big new features like Warfronts, Islands, and War Mode should be a big draw for players new and old in WoW.
