Some see visions of resplendent light, while others are taunted with ominous warnings from the shadows. One thing is clear: something is coming, as a sinister threat rises from within Azeroth itself.

World Of Warcraft: The War Within is the first installment of the new Worldsoul Saga, an ambitious creative endeavor for the Warcraft universe.

In World Of Warcraft: The War Within, players will travel to the new continent of Khaz Algar as an ancient civilization rises to power deep beneath the surface of the planet.

Deep beneath the surface, an ancient nerubian civilization is rising to power, aided by Xal'atath, the Harbinger of the Void first introduced in the Legion expansion. Players will need to enlist the aid of the Earthen, a new allied race available to both Horde and Alliance players, as they make their way deeper and discover an entirely new world that has existed for centuries and whose denizens are preparing for conflicts that loom on the horizon.

World Of Warcraft's The Worldsoul Saga includes two expansions following The War WithinWorld Of Warcraft: Midnight and World Of Warcraft: The Last Titan.

 In a special collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment, MSI, a trailblazer in gaming technology and high-performance computing solutions, is thrilled to introduce the GeForce RTX 4070 Super 12G Gaming Slim World of Warcraft Edition at PAX West. This limited edition graphics card marks a significant milestone, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the iconic MMORPG, World of Warcraft, and the upcoming release of The War Within expansion.

As travelers in Azeroth prepare to dive into the depths below with their new hero talents, MSI and Blizzard are equipping gamers with this graphics card to ensure an outstanding gaming experience. The graphics card will be available in the MSI store on August 26.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Super 12G Gaming Slim World of Warcraft Edition harnesses the power of Nvidia's 4070 Super GPU. It supports advanced technologies such as Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and real-time ray tracing, ensuring superior graphics quality and smooth, immersive gameplay.

The design of this limited edition card is a true homage to World of Warcraft's rich history. It features the iconic Mystic Blue and Glorious Gold color scheme that fans of the Horde and Alliance will instantly recognize. Additionally, the graphics card comes with exquisite magnetic puzzle backplates, each inspired by the 10 expansions released over the past 20 years. From traversing Outland and being stomped by a Fel Reaver in Burning Crusade to helping the Covenants and defeating the Jailer in Shadowlands, these customizable backplates allow users to create a personalized tribute to their favorite moments in the game.

"This collaboration between MSI and Blizzard Entertainment is a heartfelt tribute to the monumental legacy of exploring Azeroth in the World of Warcraft," said Vincent Hou, Assistant Vice President of GNP BU. "We've combined the latest in graphics technology with artistic aesthetics that will resonate with fans worldwide. Every expansion throughout the years has a different meaning for players. We are happy to be able to provide something easily customizable that matches their favorite zone."
