WoW Is Finally Adding A New Endgame Activity, Made With Smaller Groups In Mind
Delves are a new form of content coming in The War Within, built for 1-5 players.

World of Warcraft's next expansion, The War Within, will introduce a new form of endgame progression called Delves, designed for small groups. It will be the first new form of endgame content since the introduction of the Mythic+ dungeon system in 2016's Legion expansion.
Delves are a new form of evergreen, casual-friendly endgame content that can be accessed in the open world. Described as «bite-sized» adventures, Delves that will scale in difficulty depending on the number of players and can be played solo (with a NPC companion) or with up to four other players. In Season 1 of The War Within, the Delve NPC companion will be a familiar face for longtime players, Brann Bronzebeard, whose abilities and talents can be customized to meet a player's specific needs.
