Blizzard unveils new trilogy of WoW expansions

While recent Diablo 4 leaks were proven to be accurate at BlizzCon this year, recent World of Warcraft leaks were completely off. BlizzCon surprised WoW players at the event this year with the announcement of a trilogy of expansions, making up the Worldsoul Saga. 

Chris Metzen, a fan-favourite WoW veteran, announced the new set of expansions for WoW, which will collectively tell a big, meaningful story that will have players diving deep into Warcraft lore. The first expansion, titled ‘The War Within', will be out next year and the first cinematic trailer can be viewed below:

The War Within will have players “descending into the heart of Azeroth itself”, introducing new subterranean kingdoms and ancient cultures. From there, we'll be moving on to the next expansion, Midnight, which will send players to Quel'Thalas in the Old World, tasked with stopping forces of the void from taking over. Finally, the third expansion, The Last Titan, will bring the fabled Titans of Azeroth back.

According to Metzen, the developers are trying to “establish a thundering heartbeat” for the WoW franchise with this big new expansion saga. Aside from new content that pushes the WoW story forward, BlizzCon also had updates for WoW Classic players, with the announcement of Cataclysm Classic.

KitGuru Says: World of Warcraft remains popular but it has declined. Perhaps something like this can truly revitalise the MMO for the next several years.
