Raid Release Schedule For WoW TWW

With the release of Season One,The War Withinplayers will finally be able to take on the first Raid of the expansion, Nerub-ar Palace. On Jun 26, 2025, the Normal and Heroic difficulties for the full Raid will launch concurrently, alongside the first of three Looking For Raid (LFR) wings. Later on, we will get thefull Mythic difficulty for the Raid, as well as the other two wings for LFR difficulty and the new Raid Story Mode difficulty.

Spend some time in the first few weeks ofThe War Withinleveling up your characters and getting them geared up through world events, Heroics, and Mythic 0 dungeons. You should be able to meet the requirements for the Normal version of the raid relatively easily, but it may take a bit more preparation (and maybe even some Mythic progression) to be ready for Heroic and Mythic on launch.
