Faction Assaults

Patch release image.

Faction Assaults^[1] are a feature added in patch 8.1.0, consisting of the invasion by Alliance or Horde forces of an area, triggering a zone wide event. They are similar to Legion's Legion Assaults, but lack instanced scenarios.

Notes

In-game UI simply names the events as "Assault" with the description of: "<Zone name> is under attack by the <faction name>!", with the faction emblem.
When they were first announced during a Developer Live Stream, they were called incursions.^[2]
It was also said that they would culminate in a scenario at the end like the Legion Assaults. This, however, didn't make it to live.
