The highly-anticipated World of Warcraft expansion is entering its beta build as The War Within is expected to dramatically shake things up on Azeroth. Since the return of Chris Metzen as the Creative Director for WoW, players have been promised three groundbreaking expansions, all tied within a trilogy called the Worldsoul Saga.
The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan will all follow the same story as they slowly unravel before our very eyes, promising epic battles and bloody conflict as the fate of Azeroth lies solely in the hands of the brave adventurers who have fought with all of their might in the previous expansions.
With that being said, we will see how the first chapter of the Worldsoul Saga will play out, as Delves have been met with praises for Blizzard finally focusing on fun and rewarding PvE content for players who prefer a more laid-back experience to get gear and cosmetics.

The War Within Beta: Preview of Delves
These bite-sized world instances will offer players a unique new way of obtaining gear upgrades, cosmetics, experience, and epic rewards. Delves will be available both for solo players and parties of up to 5, so you can explore the treacherous caverns with your friends. Not to fear, you will be accompanied by an NPC companion, the one and only Brann Bronzebeard!
Another neat thing about Delves is that they can be completed in 10-15 minutes without having to specially pick out a group. Delves will be split into 11 levels of difficulty.
Delves will have 11 levels of difficulty called Tiers to challenge yourself. Tiers 1, 2, and 3 are available to players when The War Within Launches. Tiers 4 and above will be unlocked when Season 1 begins. Successfully completing a higher Tier unlocks access to the next tier for your Warband.
WoW has been lacking some relaxed content to help players more easily get accustomed to the high-action Mythic Dungeons or even Raids. Delves will act as an entryway for new players wanting to master the mechanics of the game without the added pressure of veteran players constantly spreading toxicity.

The War Within Beta: Delves Details
Blizzard has confirmed that each season will come with a fresh companion with its own customizable Talent Tree so you can more easily set up your star team or pair up with a trusted buddy to help you clear out Delves without much hassle.
The more Delves you explore, the more levels your companion will obtain, along with equipment (Curios) that Brann can equip to enhance his utility during your adventures.
The War Within Delves and Rewards
You will also get to customize your very own flying mount as the dragon mount customization that was added in Dragonflight was a tremendous success, so players this time around will have even more options to pimp their ride!
Players who reach max level in The War Within will be able to unlock a new fully customizable mount, the Delver's Dirigible!
Delves will also offer you endgame gear, transmogs, and other goodies similar to how you obtain loot through doing dungeons, PvP, and raids, so you will have even more options to try out in The War Within beta!
