Blizzard Entertainment World of Warcraft: The War Within

As we approached 20 years of World of Warcraft, the team wanted to tell a story that was bigger than a single expansion. We set out to create a trilogy, The Worldsoul Saga, and The War Within is the first expansion in the series. This saga will take players on an epic journey, filled with adventures that will redefine what they know about the world of Azeroth.
Artists brought both creativity and expertise to the table to create a unique and mysterious land within the subterranean depths of Azeroth herself. Their dedication in taking on this unique challenge resulted in breathtaking art that immerses players deeply in the zones and cultures of Khaz Algar.
Please join us in celebrating the artists whose efforts have crafted new lands, brought compelling creatures and characters to life, created impactful encounters, and forged the interfaces players use to engage with the world.
