It’s time to start gold farming in World of Warcraft becauseAvowedis coming to the Battle.net launcher when it releases next year. You can pre-order Obsidian’s big fantasy RPG onBlizzard’s storeright now, including the premium edition that includes five days of early access to the game.

Most people don’t have that much gold lying around unless they’re the kind of WoW player who spends their time running old dungeons for rare items or plays the auction house. You really have to commit to filling your bags with that much virtual cash, but Avowed won’t be out until February 18, so you have some time.

This whole thing was a surprise. So far, the only non-Blizzard games to appear on Battle.net have beenActivisiongames, and Blizzard recently started releasing games on Steam for the first time in its history. But in hindsight, we might’ve seen it coming: Microsoft didn’t pay $68.7 billion (roughly 4.6 billion WoW Tokens) to buy Activision Blizzard for nothing, and has also added “included with Game Pass” text to Battle.net pages. It may as well release games from its other developers there, although it seems like it’s being selective about it. As a fantasy RPG, Avowed fits in easily with Diablo 4 and WoW, but will we see Microsoft Flight Simulator there, too?

You can, of course, still buy Avowed onSteamor subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate for boring human money and play it on release. It’s surely the smarter way to get the game, but it’s also the less adventurous way. You never know, the next Halo could show up on Battle.net and you might be kicking yourself for not becoming a gold farming god in WoW because you’re broke in real life.

Avowed will be out on February 18, 2025.
