Models

Exile's Reach HD Simple Weapon Models: In Shadowlands Beta Build 35256, many new weapon models labeled "Newplayer" were datamined. These weapons have HD models but picture more simplistic weapon types. These are believed to come from the new starting zone coming in Shadowlands, Exile's Reach.

Maw 2H Sword Models in Shadowlands: The Maw Legendary sets now have a matching spiky weapon.

Updated Sylvanas Model: Sylvanas' model has received another set of color tweaks, creating greater contrast between her armor and skin.

Ardenweald Toad Mount: One of the new models added in Shadowlands Beta Build 35256 is an Ardenweald-themed Toad Mount.

New Spirit Healer: The Spirit Healer has received a model update to look closer to the Kyrian aesthetics.

Zones and Story

Alexandros Mograine Reflects: Mograine is confused by his assigned covenant and we see how he reaches an understanding.

Night Warrior Curse Questline: In the Night Warrior's Curse chapter, we learn more about past Night Warriors, who may be instrumental in helping Tyrande maintain control of her dark powers.

Kael'thas Sunstrider in the Venthyr Covenant: After completing Kael's encounter in Castle Nathria, he is the focus of the Venthyr covenant campaign, where we learn more about his path to redemption and encounter a surprising villain from Azeroth's past.

Concept Art Revendreth Interview: We learned a bit more about the aesthetics of Revendeth and Castle Nathria, notably getting a glimpse at the concept art for the missing Castle Nathria leather shoulders.

Castle Nathria Raid Preview: The Castle Nathria raid opened for testing for the first time, and we took pictures of all the vampiric castle rooms.

World PvP

Trials of Zo'Sorg - Return of PvP World Quests in Shadowlands: One of the more popular World Quests in Legion were PvP World Quests, where you could focus on doing PvP objectives in free-for-all PvP areas. Although these quests were not available in Battle for Azeroth, they are making a return in Shadowlands with the Trials of Zo'Sorg.

Deathbringer Title and Flayedwing Mount - World PvP Meta Achievement in Shadowlands: In the latest Shadowlands Beta build, a new World PvP Meta Achievement has been discovered, with two rewards attached to it: the Deathbringer Title and a Deathbringer's Flayedwind chimera mount.

PvP Honorable Medallion Talent Slot Removed in Shadowlands - Replaced by PvP Trinkets: Blizzard has updated their PvP Medallion Trinkets in Shadowlands post to confirm that the first PvP talent slot, which offers the choice of anti-CC talents Adaptation, Gladiator's Medallion, or Relentless, will be removed in Shadowlands.

Soulbinds and Conduits

Shadowlands Beta Build 35256 Soulbind Conduit Changes - Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Paladin Conduits: This build brings many new conduits for Death Knights, Demon Hunters, Hunters, Paladins, Shamans, Warlocks, and Warriors. Note that many of these appear to be Covenant specific, as they directly affect individual Covenant abilities.

Volatile Solvent & Ultimate Form - Perfecting Fleshcraft for Necrolords with the Plague Deviser Marileth Soulbind: In this soulbind spotlight, we explain how covenant abilities can interact with a particular soulbind for hidden sources of power.

More Soulbind Conduits Receive 15 Ranks in Shadowlands Beta 35256: In today's Shadowlands Beta build, over 700 more entries were added to the Soulbind Conduit Rank database for the newly revealed Conduit powers. This may indicate that Soulbind Ranks are still an active system as it's still being worked on.

Shadowlands Soulbind Changes - Instant Cast Door of Shadows Removed: There was a major change to Theotar's buff to the Venthyr Covenant ability Door of Shadows, which no longer makes the ability instant, but instead gives it a second charge.
