BlizzCon 2023 is the first in-person BlizzCon since 2019 taking place in less than a month! We expect Blizzard to reveal a new WoW expansion at the event.

I bet we'll get a completely new game in the setting. And not just another expansion.

Blizz KNOWS it has to make good announcements otherwise it's game over

Lol. People have been making comments like this pre-Blizzcon since the beginning. After almost 20 years, nothing has changed, on either side.

Ok, I believe you.

I mean there's nothing to believe or not. WoW will have 2 expansions (at least) announced (11.0 and Classic Cata or +). The other games basically can't compete with that. D4 MIGHT get an expansion announce but it'll be very barebones since they want to focus on season 2 and OW2, well... yea.

They still have their survival game which will be set in a completely new world. But classic+? Those leaks contained some very weird claims (like Dragonflight being remnants of a cancelled mobile game). Cata classic could happen, but who's excited about playing it? Cata content is already in the current game.

Sure, I was just talking about the "most news" claim, not necessarily the quality of said news 😄 But I'm pretty sure they will be announcing something for Classic Era. It doesn't necessarily have to be Classic+, but SoM 2 is a very real option etc.

Oh yes, that sounds more likely. I think if classic+ existed, it could split community in a bad way - some people would want to experience new content there, but they might not want to deal with classic's mechanics (or some modified version of them).
