"World of Warcraft" has released its Patch 6.2 Raid Preview. Battle.net reports that the preview of the latest patch, released last Thursday, includes information about the Hellfire Citadel, Pits of Mannoroth, the Iron Bulwark, Court of Blood and the Felborne Breach.

The Hellfire Citadel

After the heroes of Azeroth and Draenor survived the battles in Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry, they must now face the monsters in Hellfire Citadel. In order to be allowed entry into Raid Finder, players must have an item level of at least 650.

Location: Tanaan Jungle

Rewards

a. Powerful Items (Item Level 675–685 in Raid Finder and up to Item Level 735 in Mythic difficulty)

b. A chance to add the Corrupted Nest Guardian pet, which is a Rare quality companion.

Pits of Mannoroth

The designers of this area mentioned on the website that the lower floor of Hellfire Citadel is a reflection of the Iron Horde before it was influenced by Gul’dan. Meanwhile, the upper areas reflect the Legion and the Shadow Council's influence. This area features Kormrok, an elite Non Player Character, or NPC. He used to rule Gorgrond until the Iron Horde arrived and trapped him.

The Iron Bulwark (Exterior Area)

This area features Iron Reaver, another NPC. Its schematics were found in Blackfuse's workshop after Orgrimmar's fall. The designers of the Iron Reaver noted that it was an evolved version of the Iron Horde's siege vehicle from Garrosh, which now uses fel power.

The Felborne Breach

This area features Xhul’horac, a Void Revenant NPC. He has been fed an enormous amount of fel energy by Gul'dan. His powers are now being used to open portals for the Burning Legion.

Court of Blood

This place features Kilrogg Deadeye, the Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow. He has been corrupted by demon blood and will face the players who will enter this area in Hellfire Citadel. Click here to learn more about Kilrogg.

Aside from Kilrogg, players of "WoW" should also brace themselves for the Hellfire High Council. This includes Gurtogg and Dia Darkwhisper. Gurtogg is a champion of hundreds of trials by combat. Meanwhile, Dia Darkwhisper is Gul'dan's left hand, and is also a master of void magic and a Shadowmoon outcast.
