MEET A NEW – AND NEUTRAL – RACE IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT: MISTS OF PANDARIA

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHANGES BELOW! 

This new expansion pack for the ever-popular MMO comes at a time when Alliance warships roam the seas and Horde armies thunder across Kalimdor. The tensions between these factions edge ever closer to erupting in a savage war that could consume all of Azeroth. And then… an uncharted island mysteriously appears. The ancient realm of Pandaria.

This land has been shrouded in fog for more than ten thousand years, and is uninvolved with – and unspoiled by – the war that has raged. Its rich forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures - including the enigmatic Pandaren.

For thousands of years, all but the bravest Pandaren explorers have chosen to remain hidden from the world, but as the aftermath of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is felt even in Pandaria, it is time for the Pandarens to rejoin the world, share the secrets of their extraordinary martial arts, and choose to allign themselves with the Alliance or the Horde.

New Playable Race - the Pandaren: World of Warcraft's first neutral race, will you decide to side with the Alliance or the Horde?
