The latest Q&A video — the last of 2023 — for New World dropped on Christmas. Despite the festive outfits of two-thirds of the developers on camera, the Amazon Games team addressed some pretty hard-hitting questions that have circulated since its 2024 roadmap was revealed.
Planes of Existence with PlatinumWoW - World of Warcraft Lore Video
08.12.2023 - 05:55 / wowhead.com / Emerald Dream
The official Warcraft YouTube channel posted a video with PlatinumWoW, all about planes of existence in the Warcraft universe.
The video covers thirteen planes of existence in all. These planes of existence aren't all equal — some are huge and important, while others are small and seemingly inconsequential. Some of these dimensions are contained within others, and many were even created by denizens of other realms. It's an interesting list, which we summarize below.
1. The Great Dark Beyond
- The physical universe. The most neutral plane of existence, and the plane that Azeroth exists in.
2. The Twisting Nether
- The plane that connects all realities, where the Light and Void are constantly at battle. Parallel to the Great Dark Beyond.
3. Phantasm Zone
- A prison pocket dimension within the Twisting Nether that contains one prisoner that we know of — Magnus Manastorm.
4. Ny'alotha, the Sunken City
- An alternate realm that the Old Gods have created by twisting time and space, where they have successfully conquered Azeroth. Throughout history, the Old Gods have tried to make this realm into reality.
5. The Elemental Plane
- A prison pocket dimension that the Keepers banished the Old God-enslaved Elementals of Azeroth to.
6. Halls of Valor
- Keeper Odyn's dimension, that he created as an eternal reward for the greatest vrykul warriors.
7. Helheim
- Helya's dimension and the opposite of the Halls of Valor, that she created mostly to spite Odyn.
8. Dragonflight sanctums
- Special sanctums where the Dragonflights would lay their eggs. The portals for these sanctums can be found under Wyrmrest Temple. There are actually five sanctums in all, one for each original flight: Ruby, Obsidian, Bronze, Emerald, and Azure.
9. Void Storage
- A pocket dimension provided for storage to players by the Ethereals, who created it through technomancy.
10. Akazamzarak's Hat
- A pocket dimension that belongs to the Goblin magician Akazamzarak, which allows him to pull rabbits out of his hat.
11. Warped Pocket Dimension
- A junk item from the Sanctum of Domination, this pocket dimension endlessly contains and is endlessly contained within itself.
12. Shadowlands
- Warcraft's afterlife: The destination realm for all souls from all mortal beings. The Shadowlands contains an endless amount of realms, including Ardenweald, which is the sister realm to the final plane of existence mentioned in this vide:
13. The Emerald Dream
- A land of Life that, according to this video, was «originally created by the Keepers» — namely Freya. (Interestingly, some lore books that can be found within the Emerald Dream has recently had us questioning what is meant by «created».) Amirdrassil was obviously planted within the Emerald Dream, and in Patch 10.2, Fyrakk and his

PlayStation's Pulse Explore Earbuds Are Back In Stock At GameStop
The PlayStation Portal has been out for more than a month and remains almost impossible to find.

Perhaps even more surprising is the scarcity of the Pulse Explore Earbuds you can use with the Portal. Costing the same as the remote player device, the earbuds are currently back in stock at GameStop.
