[Updated 14/04/2020: With the arrival of Shadowlands the Exalted reputation requirement will be removed, plus all races will be able to be Death Knights]
As we have seen from the Blizzcon trailers the new expansion of World of Warcraft, Battle for Azeroth, will give us the opportunity to take on the role of new races that will join theHorde andAlliance in their incessant warfare.
These races, however, will not be available simply by purchasing the expansion but we will have to do a series of missions in which we will literally go to recruit them. Once unlocked they will start at level 20 and will have exclusive starting zones. Raised to level 110 they will receive a special set as in the images that follow.
So let's find out together who will be the new allies who will take part in the two sides.
In addition to those listed in this article, the Mag'har Orcs and Humans of Kul Tiras will also be available.
Completed the scenario of the chosen race we will be rewarded with a mount that can be used by all characters.
NB Some information has not yet been released, we will constantly update this article as soon as we know more.
