Warcraft Beyond Limits

Build your Hero

Forge a completely custom hero and explore the nostalgic world of Azeroth in a brand new way: combine classes to make your own, taking any spell or ability to unleash entire new archetypes: combine Mage and Paladin for an Icebound Knight or Flaming Crusader. Fuse Rogue and hunter for the ultimate assassin. The choice is in your hands.

Unlock Power

Mystic Enchantments

Fuse powerful effects into your weapons and armor with Mystic Enchantments. They can make your Execute deal more damage, change your Charge into Icebound Charge to leave a trail of frost behind you behind you, or even unlock entire new archetypes like Arcane Archer, Shadow Mage, or Defias Gunslinger! Use Mystic Enchantments to empower the spells you love, and create any cross-class build you can imagine.

Forge your Champion

Ultimate Customization

Customize your Hero in brand new ways: through new tamable pets, incredible new spells from future expansions brought to the original trilogy, and secret Worldforged Enchantments that you’ll discover through exploration to unlock wild new power.

New Tamable Pets

Harness the strength of new companions, including Tamable Undead, Demons, Dragons, and Elementals.

New Spells in Vanilla

Master skills from future expansions like Lava Burst, Execution Sentence, and Demonic Leap–all in Vanilla.

Discover Worldforged Enchantments

Discover hidden enchantments scattered throughout the world that unlock new abilities and archetypes.

Play with Friends, Right Now

Free To Play

Ascension is entirely Free to Play, and always will be. That means if you and your buddies are looking to jump back into Azeroth and explore something new, there’s nothing holding you back from adventure: even if it’s only for a night. Explore new archetypes, build your own classless Hero, and Explore Azeroth in a brand new way, no strings attached.

New Ways to Play

Challenge Modes

A new adventure: every time. Challenge Modes let you completely change up how you adventure and conquer Azeroth. From the one-life Ironman challenge and terrifying Nightmare Mode, to the completely custom Draft Game Mode, your adventure is always what you make it.

Ironman

Self-made single life challenge.

Resolute

x1 EXP Rates.

Nightmare

Take 500% more damage.

Master your Fate

Draft Mode

Choose one of three random abilities every two levels: build your Hero and sway the hand of fate! Draft Mode lets you forge a truly unique champion, then mold it using re-rolls to replace unwanted abilities with stronger ones. Can you make it to the end game and even into dungeons and raids using your Draft Hero? Or will you burn away your current build and rise like a phoenix with Prestige?

One Realm, Three Playstyles

Play Your Way

On Ascension, PvE, PvP, and High Risk PvP game modes are all available on the same realm. Toggle between them at any time in capital cities, and know that when you adventure out into the Open World, you’ll be in whichever mode you prefer. This gives you the benefits of having everyone in one place, while still giving every individual the option to play how they want.

Three Styles to Play

PvE, PvP, and High Risk

Whether you want a relaxed Open World PvE adventure, a bit of PvP danger, or the full High Risk Experience, you’ll have full control over the way you play on Ascension. Choose your realm style and dive into Azeroth on your terms.

PvE Mode

Enjoy the adventure without ganks, and still group up with allies in other playstyles for Dungeons and Raids.

PvP

Leap into the classic PvP Realm Experience: fight other Heroes, but never worry about dropping gear.

High Risk PvP

Discover powerful gear in the open world, collect unique spoils, and slay other Heroes to steal their gear.

Opt-In

High Risk PvP

Enter High Risk PvP: an instanced version of the Open World where you can find raid loot on monsters! But be careful: dying in PvP combat means losing a piece of your equipped gear. 

Player vs. Environment

Dungeons

Dive into Dungeons at the difficulty that’s right for you. Ascend through the ranks to face down ultimate evil. No matter what your skill level, Heroes looking to PvE can find their perfect challenge: those seeking a true test of skill can dive into custom Classic Mythic+ dungeons and Ascended difficulty raids to face custom mechanics and new dangers.

Normal

Classic Dungeons

Heroic

Tougher Challenge, Better Loot

Mythic+

Infinite Scaling Difficulty

Conquer Azeroth’s Foes

Raids

Charge into Raids at the challenge that’s right for you: on Ascension, all raids are Flex and can be tackled with anywhere between 10 and 25 Heroes. Each level awards stronger versions of the raid’s original gear, so dive in and conquer ancient evils.

World PvP Events

Conquer Cities, Get Gear
