'World Of Warcraft: The War Within' Kicks Off Legion Remix Event In October, Coincides With 11.2.5 Content Update

by Rainier on Sept. 18, 2025 @ 12:43 a.m. PDT

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.


Eternus and the Infinite Dragonflight return to their explorations of the past, this time centering on the events of the beloved Legion expansion. World of Warcraft: Legion Remix goes live on October 7!

Legion Remix is a time-limited seasonal event where players can create a Timerunner as one of the original 12 Legion classes and replay the entire Legion expansion at an accelerated pace from level 10-80 with some major gameplay twists: 

  • Remixed: Artifact Weapons
    • Revamped artifact weapons will serve as Legion Remix’s player power conduit as Timerunners will unlock powerful traits along any of the five paths (nature, fel, arcane, storm, or holy), and is a system unified across all class artifact weapons.  
  • World Tier: Heroic
    • Increase the level of difficulty for world content (including rare spawn enemies and world quests) to invite greater challenges and rewards. 
  • Timeworn Keystones
    • Mythic+ aficionados will be able to take advantage of the steep power curves to see how high they can push their Legion dungeon Timeworn keystones, introducing familiar affixes from the original Legion expansion as well as new ones.
  • More characters to level, more character slots!
    • All modern WoW players will gain five new character slots, perfect for adding new Timerunners to their character rosters.
    • In a change from the Mists of Pandaria Remix event, and based on player feedback, Timerunner characters will be able to transfer over to The War Within at any time a player chooses (rather than having to wait until the end of the event). 

...and a whole lot more including a ton of rewards such as Legion-specific gear, pets and mounts, as well as new ones specific to this event.

Legion Remix and the 11.2.5 Content Update Goes Live October 7!

Get ready for fast frenetic fun in Legion Remix as you meet up with the infinite dragonflight once more, level new characters, and earn a variety of items to add to your collection. We’re turning things up a notch during The War Within Season 3 with increased rewards and improvements to help you gear up your Warband with Turbo-Boost. Explore the updated Cooldown Manager.

What is Legion Remix?

Legion Remix is a time-limited seasonal event where players can create a Timerunner as one of the original 12 Legion classes and replay the entire Legion expansion at an accelerated pace from level 10-80 with some major gameplay twists. Players will collect power, face epic challenges, and earn a mountain of cosmetics such as pets, mounts, and transmog gear.

Available to Everyone

No expansion purchase is needed, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is required to begin this fast-paced adventure through the Broken Isles. This means that Classic players can also participate in the Fel frenzy by simply installing the modern (live) World of Warcraft client.

WoW Trial Accounts will also be able to experience this World of Warcraft Remix without a subscription or Game Time through level 20. Purchase a subscription or Game Time to continue beyond level 20.

It’s All Inside

Players can take part in all twelve dungeons, one mega-dungeon, five raids, all the Legion Campaign quests, local stories, World Quests, Class Order Hall campaigns and Artifact questlines, Legion Assaults, Invasion Points, Withered Training, and more!

The infinite dragonflight is accelerating all weekly lockouts, reputation gains, and Class Order Hall missions, so get in and have fun!

Our Remix Story So Far

Eternus of the infinite dragonflight

In Remix: Mists of Pandaria, Eternus from the infinite dragonflight was trying to learn more about the past. Now with the Worldsoul Saga™ heating up, she’s looking into some of the events that have led up to what’s happening now to try to understand more of what really saved Azeroth from the Legion.

What’s New in Legion Remix?

We’ve added some new gameplay systems with an eye toward capturing the spirit of the original Legion experience. Our goal is to create opportunities for challenge and strategy that players will eventually dominate with epic power.

Remixed Artifact Weapons

Artifact trait tree on Ebonchill, Greatstaff of Alodi

Instead of the cloak and gem systems from Remix: Mists of Pandaria, we’re going all-in on Artifacts. Every Artifact weapon shares a powerful trait tree, and you’ll choose a path to go along—Nature, Fel, Arcane, Storm, or Holy.

You won’t be locked in and can respec anytime, now made easier with our new Quick Assign feature—you can Ctrl-click to spend up to your remaining Infinite Power purchasing toward your selected point, or Ctrl-right click to refund back to the selected point.

You’ll also find jewelry along the way that lets you add Ranks to traits from any path, taking Ranks from other paths or boosting your chosen path beyond its natural limits! Mix and match to customize your Artifact weapon.

Heroic World Tier

Inspired by Diablo, Heroic World Tier is a new way to play outdoor content. Eternus is experimenting to prepare the champions of Azeroth for what could happen if things get worse. She’s empowering creatures to have more health, more damage, and sometimes Affix-like buffs, empowering their difficulty and rewards. While you’ll encounter tougher foes, if you can overcome them, you will reap the rewards in the end.

Timewarped Obelisks

Power up with Timewarped Obelisks found throughout Legion Remix. These grant temporary but powerful buffs to players as they explore the world.

Timeworn Keystone Dungeons

For players who love Mythic+, we’ve remixed things a bit more to create Timeworn Keystone Dungeons. We’re bringing back most of the Affixes from the original launch of Legion and adding four new Affixes specific to Legion Remix called Eternus’s Trials. 

Infinite Research

Each day, players can choose new research assignments to undertake, such as killing demons, running a dungeon, collecting bronze orbs while Skyriding, and more. With over 100 quests available and the ability to unlock access to take on multiple at once, you’ll have plenty of options.

You won’t need to check in every day and can bank up to six days of quests that you can do when you’re ready to take them on. So whether you are taking part in Legion Remix daily, or only have time on the weekends, you’ll be ready to go.

More and More (and More) Loot!

The Violet Spellwing mount

It wouldn’t be a Remix event without lots and lots of loot to collect.

New rewards include:

  • Fel-infused class mounts
  • Elegant, elven, Azshara-inspired robe transmogs
  • Mannoroth’s shield transmog
  • Varian’s Fel-corrupted swords

We’ll also have plenty of never-before-released mounts, transmog sets, and more.

Scythe of the Unmaker

Legacy rewards include rare raid transmogs such as Xavius’s shoulders and Scythe of the Unmaker (in original, red, and a new Fel green). Other legacy rewards include rare mounts like Llothien Prowler, Shackled Ur’zul, and the Violet Spellwing. Players can also gain new titles such as “Chronoscholar,” “the Infernal,” and “of the Infinite Chaos.”

The Cost of Loot

Bronze is making its return as a currency players can use to purchase cosmetic items only. Instead of upgrading your gear with Bronze, upgrades will drop from all content. Harder content will provide a higher drop chance for upgrades.

More Character Slots and Early Character Conversion

We’re also adding five new character slots to all World of Warcraft accounts so you can make even more characters. You also don’t have to wait for the end of Legion Remix to move your characters over to play with them in The War Within.

Transferring your character will remove all Remix-specific items and abilities, clear your quest log, and grant you level-appropriate gear and gold. Any legacy items you collected, including any unopened cosmetics, will be mailed to you.

This is a one-way trip, so make sure you choose wisely before transferring timelines. To convert your Timerunner character, you’ll need to select it in the character selection screen and click on the icon next to it to convert. Please note that characters must be 24 hours old before they can be converted to a standard character in World of Warcraft. Converting a Timerunner above level 70 to a standard character requires The War Within expansion.

Legion Remix: Content Rollout

We’re rolling out new Legion content to Legion Remix every two weeks. We’ll start things off with the original launch content from Legion and end with Argus and Antorus. Each release will bring new content and new rewards to earn.

Here’s a schedule and overview of the content you can expect to experience:

  • October 7- Skies of Fire: Take to the skies of the Broken Isles with the original Legion content and the Emerald Nightmare and Trial of Valor raids.
  • October 21 - Rise of the Nightfallen: Continue the Nightfallen’s story with the Insurrection campaign and new World Quests across the Broken Isles. Re-experience the Legion mega-dungeon with the Return to Karazhan, and take on the Nighthold raid.
  • November 4 - Legionfall: Establish a foothold on the Broken Shore, take on Legion Assaults, and fight your way into the Cathedral of Eternal Night and the Tomb of Sargeras.
  • November 18 - Argus Eternal: Replay the Argus campaign across three deadly zones. Take on the Seat of the Triumvirate and Antorus, the Burning Throne.
  • December 9- Infinite Echoes: As the Legion Remix timeline begins collapsing, say your goodbyes and embrace the chaos.

Get a Boost in the 11.2.5 Content Update

We’re turning things up a notch during The War Within Season 3 with increased rewards and improvements to help you gear up your Warband with Turbo-Boost. 

With the initial release:

Hero and Myth upgrade tracks will extend 2 upgrades (from 6 to 8) and crafted items will be recraftable with an Augmentation Matrix for additional power.

Soon after the release:

Mythic+ drop rates from Mythic+ dungeons and Manaforge Omega are greatly increased for Warband until Equipped gear. Valorstones may now be transferred across Warbands.

Fixer So’kir and Fixer So’tho will visit Dornogal to offer powerful weapons, trinkets, and cantrip items from Season 3 dungeons and Manaforge Omega in exchange for Puzzling Cartel Chips after adventurers have proved themselves worthy. Once again, up to three Puzzling Cartel Chips may be earned as the season progresses.

Ethereal Voidsplinters may be earned in Mythic+ dungeons, Manaforge Omega, Delves, and rated PvP to fuel the Catalyst.

Cooldown Manager Improvements

This content patch also has some additional improvements to the Cooldown Manager including a new frame which will allow ordering, hiding, and unhiding of spells and buffs. 

 Key Features:

  • DESCEND INTO THE DEPTHS OF AZEROTH ITSELF–Journey to a new level cap of 80 as you explore the vast empires beneath the surface of Azeroth and discover ancient civilizations, both friendly and adversarial, in four new zones: the surface-level Isle of Dorn, the industrial Ringing Deeps, the unexpectedly bright and lush Hallowfall, and Azj-kahet, a pinnacle of nerubian society.
  • FORGE NEW BONDS WITH THE DENIZENS OF THE DEEP – As players progress through the main campaign, they’ll meet the Earthen that have made the Isle of Dorn and the zones beneath it their home. The Earthen will be a new allied race available to both Alliance and Horde players.  
  • NEW ENDGAME PILLAR FOR WORLD CONTENT PLAYERS – Opportunities abound for adventurers looking to explore the secrets below the surface in search of great treasure. Delves are scalable world instances for 1-5 players which provide meaningful gear progression that will contribute to a new reward track in the Great Vault for world content players.
  • LIVE OUT YOUR CLASS FANTASY New Hero Talents for each class specialization will provide players a way to progress their characters with evergreen self-contained talent trees that also infuse class fantasy flavor inspired by iconic Warcraft universe archetypes such as a Mountain Thane for Warriors or a Dark Ranger for Hunters.
  • EXPAND THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR ALTS With Warbands, players can enjoy account-wide progression with all characters in their Battle.net® account, regardless of faction, that includes shared War Within renown, a warband bank, achievements, and more! Additionally, a new change to transmog collection will let players learn the appearance of any gear type, even if they cannot equip it!
