World of Warcraft's pre-patch level squish may still not have an official release date, but a ton of new details were just revealed about the upcoming Shadowlands pre-expansion content changes. In addition to some other new intel, players can now get a better understanding of exactly how the level squish will impact each of their characters when it arrives in the coming weeks.

The next WoW expansion features two pre-patches and the first one will bring a massive level squish that reduces the game's max level to 50 (it will jump up to 60 when Shadowlands launches next month). Up until now, players have been making a lot of predictions about how each level would scale down when the squish happened. A lot of the predictions were pretty close to accurate and Blizzard has now officially confirmed a level by level comparison for World of Warcraft players.

Shadowlands is bringing some massive changes to the iconic MMO, but the level squish is one new feature that has really stolen the spotlight in a lot of ways. Every prior expansion has increased the maximum level by 5 or 10, so this squish is new territory for the game that sets an interesting stage going forward. The change also massively impacts how new characters and alts will experience Azeroth thanks to the use of Chromie Time for leveling.

This explanation has been a long time in the works and should give players an idea of what sort of work they want to do on their unleveled alts in the coming week. There is still no release date for the pre-patch and the level squish, but many players are predicting it will arrive one week from tomorrow. If that's the case, players are running short on time to take advantage of the current 100% experience boost that is available in the game until the Shadowlands release date.

Be sure to check back in the coming weeks as more details about Shadowlands emerge. Until then, For the Horde!

World of Warcraft is available now for PC. At this point, World of Warcraft Shadowlands releases on October 26 or 27 (depending on time zone) for PC.
