Blizzard Entertainment, developer of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft, has just unveiled a brand-new zone that players will be able to explore in the upcoming Warlords of Draenor expansion.

The Iron Horde is using the wilds of Tanaan jungle to stage their assault on Azeroth. Players will be tasked with mounting the counterstrike, as both the Alliance and the Horde are set on taking the fight back to the Iron Horde before it's too late.

"In primordial Tanaan, even the plants have teeth. Darkling fronds stab out at unlucky wanderers, or conceal canyons that plunge miles deep beneath the canopy – and these are far from the jungle's worst dangers. Each day, warlords fell even wider stretches of Tanaan's wilderness, striving to finally rend the gates of space and time for conquest unending," the official description reads.

The jungle is home to many menaces, most of which have very sharp teeth, and even worse tempers. The Warsong, Bleeding Hollow and Shattered Hand orcish clans are sure to pose a serious threat to even the most experienced of adventurers, while they toil away in their quest to seal the Dark Portal.

It certainly sounds like a good place for skinners and leatherworkers to hone their craft.
