World of Warcraft's next update, Patch 8.2, titled Rise of Azshara is venturing into expansion territory. It's a big update, and will go live on June 25. The new Rise of Azshara patch adds two new zones: the water-logged Nazjatar, and the scrap-filled Mechagon. It also introduces a new raid, Azshara’s Eternal Palace, a new dungeon and a new progression system that gives players new abilities as they unlock Essences for their Heart of Azeroth necklace. It’s currently in the Public Test Realm, but it will eventually kick in the doors to the live game very soon.
 
“The Queen of Tides’ return is imminent! Rise of Azshara, the next major Battle for Azeroth content update goes live June 25 and is packed with many new features, including the addition of Essences to the Heart of Azeroth system; two new zones to explore, Nazjatar and Mechagon; Heritage Armor for tauren and gnomes; new Benthic gear; a raid that takes players into the depths of Azshara’s Eternal Palace; and much more.”
 

 
 

Despite the many epic characters players have been introduced to over the last 15 years of World of Warcraft, there's one particularly well-known legend from Warcraft lore who still hasn't gotten her full due: Azshara.Blizzard is finally giving the ancient Queen the spotlight she deserves when World of Warcraft's Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara releases later this year.
 
We’ve seen glimpses of her in the past, and the Naga have been a threat since World of Warcraft’s launch. We’re storming her kingdom, attacking her, and discovering the details of her alliance with the Old God N’Zoth. Mechagon is also a new eight-boss Mythic dungeon that's more like a five-player raid. That's where you'll face King Mechagon himself—a massive robot, of course—and stop his plan to turn everyone else into robots. He's not particularly tolerant.
 
Rise of Azshara is an interesting patch because it is perceived as a Hail Mary for a struggling expansion. Players have had problems with the Heart of Azeroth and the Azerite Armour system since the launch of the new expansion. With Rise of Azshara, Blizzard aims to fix these big problems by progressing the Battle for Azeroth storyline through new quests and dungeons, which also gives players a bounty of new toys and diversions.
