AMD to Bundle Godfall and WoW: Shadowlands with Radeon RX 5000 Series

[btarunr]

Hot on the heels of reports of AMD bundling "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" with its 3rd gen Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 desktop processors, we're hearing of AMD preparing another game bundle, this time for its Radeon RX 5000 series desktop graphics cards. The "Raise the Game" bundle sees AMD include coupons for "Godfall" and "World of Warcraft: Shadowlands" with Radeon RX 5700 XT, RX 5700, and RX 5600 XT graphics cards in the retail channel. The RX 5500 XT will come with just "Godfall." The bundle is slated for sometime in Q3-2020, although it's likely to go live on July 7, when AMD releases its Ryzen 3000XT processors. As with every AMD game bundle before, "Raise the Game" will only be available in select markets, and through participating retailers.

It works because WoW subscription now includes base game and every earlier expansion, you need to get only the current one. So when the Shadowlands launches, the bundle will get you Shadowlands and subscription all the rest.

I get that, was more surprised with the fact that they were even offering WoW for free with a GPU purchase.

Not really free you still have to cough up that monthly.

if this is the case, then why is Blizz still charging $19.99 for Battle of Azeroth on their store? I am confused

Because Battle of Azeroth is the latest expansion at the moment?
Current subscription gives you Legion and everything before it, but you still need Battle for Azeroth.
When Shadowlands launches (and this bundles code will be of any use) subscription will include Battle for Azeroth and everything before it, but you still need that Shadowlands (which you get from this bundle)
