World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Content Update 9.2.5 Now Live

Content Update 9.2.5 for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is now available. This major update brings plenty of new things to the world of Azeroth, including cross-faction gameplay, a new arena, and balancing changes, among many others.

Players can now send party invites to people from other factions. This is a pretty significant change because World of Warcraft has always been known to have two major opposing factions: the Alliance and the Horde. Tackling PvE content is going to be more fun now than ever before.

Content Update 9.2.5 also brings the new Enigma Crucible in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. This PvP arena is located in Zereth Mortis and has a set of unique challenges that players should overcome, in addition to fighting the opposing team of course.

And lastly, this major patch brings plenty of balancing changes, some of which are highlighted below:
