The World of Warcraft: The War Within release date is right around the corner, but not all of the endgame features for this new WoW expansion will be available on release – let alone in early access. When a new expansion launches, World of Warcraft tends to time gate certain features to give players time to experience the content before diving into the endgame – and TWW will be no different.

All thirteen classes in WoW The War Within, ranked according to the TWW pre-patch and potential performance boosts from Hero Talents.
On launch, players will be able to play dungeons, play the campaign, and explore the new areas introduced in The War Within. When Season One launches, though, so does the endgame, adding Mythic Dungeon progression, PvP ranking, Raiding, and more features. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Season One launch date for The War Within, as well as the full release schedule for the new Raid, Nerub-ar Palace.
WoW The War Within Season One Release Date
The first season for The War Within will add a huge amount of new content to the game, including the first PvP season, Mythic Dungeons, and the release of the first TWW Raid, Nerub-ar Palace. Mythic 0 dungeons nor any form of Raid progression will be available until Season One releases, though Heroic versions of dungeons open on the 26th with the full launch of TWW.
Mythic Plus will be added to the game a week after the launch of Season One, after players have learned the dungeons and acquired keystones in Mythic 0.
The game launches in Early Access on the 22nd of August, and fully releases on August 26th, but Season One doesn’t launch for the first two weeks of the expansion’s launch – the Season One launch date for The War Within is September 10, 2024.
Until the TWW Season One release date arrives two weeks after launch, players will be restricted to the main campaign, most world activities, delves, and normal and heroic-level dungeons.

What To Do First In WoW: The War Within Pre-Patch
To set off on the right foot with all the new WoW TWW changes, follow this guide on what you should do first in The War Within prepatch.
Raid Release Schedule For WoW TWW
With the release of Season One, The War Within players will finally be able to take on the first Raid of the expansion, Nerub-ar Palace. On September 10, 2024, the Normal and Heroic difficulties for the full Raid will launch concurrently, alongside the first of three Looking For Raid (LFR) wings. Later on, we will get the full Mythic difficulty for the Raid, as well as the other two wings for LFR difficulty and the new Raid Story Mode difficulty.
- September 10: Normal/Heroic difficulty Nerub-ar Palace becomes available, Wing One of LFR difficulty unlocks
- September 17: Mythic difficulty Nerub-ar Palace becomes available, Wing Two for LFR unlocks, Story Mode unlocks
- September 24: Nerub-ar Palace LFR Wing Three unlocks
Spend some time in the first few weeks of The War Within leveling up your characters and getting them geared up through world events, Heroics, and Mythic 0 dungeons. You should be able to meet the requirements for the Normal version of the raid relatively easily, but it may take a bit more preparation (and maybe even some Mythic progression) to be ready for Heroic and Mythic on launch.
