It is a large 20-player cooperative experience heavily influenced by the previous RTS such as Warcraft. Whereas the Island Expeditions is a small-scale content, Warfronts are about large-scale war. NPCs are also racing against the player in order to claim the Azerite for their faction. Ion claimed that everything from a scenario to a keystone dungeon culminates in the Island Expeditions. Controlling the substance called Azerite will become a key to have the lead in the war, and the player is to queue with two other players and come across the replayable content. There’s also Island Expeditions which includes countless small skirmishes between two forces across the numerous islands around the Great Sea. As the story unfolds, each faction also goes to Zandalar and Kul Tiras to seek the aid of potential new allies - Zandalari Troll and Dark Iron Dwarf. Some of the new races - Nightborne and Highmountain Tauren for the Horde, and Lightforged Draenai and Void Elf for the Alliance - are already introduced in the Legion expansion, and players were given an ability to unlock and make them as playable. One of the other core features in the expansion is new allied races. It is designed to work as a backbone telling the story of the Alliance and Horde conflicts. This is reminiscent of Class Order Campaigns in Legion and Garrison Campaigns in Warlords of Draenor.

Along with venturing into the other continents as you level up, a further feature is called the War Campaign. Accomplishing quests is now more vital as you get to understand the current situation in the other continent. Players are given an opportunity to empower themselves by leveling up in 2 separate continents - Zandalar and Kul Tiras.
