The cinematic is a visual delight containing moments of emotion and a touching background score. It is topped with some enchanting voice acting by the two characters.

The World of Warcraft legend Chris Metzen also appeared in Blizzcon’s segment for the game. Metzen announced the expansion and the broader narrative. The first expansion for World of Warcraft will be set inside Azeroth’s subterranean regions. The region will be rife with Nerubians and an Allied race called the Earthen Dwarves.

In The War Within, we will also see the talking knife Xal’atath returning to the game. New zones for World of Warcraft, like Azj-kahet, Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, and Hallowfall, will also be experienced by players. There will be a new treasure-hunting adventure activity called Delves.

The Eleventh and Twelfth World of Warcraft Expansion Packs: What’s Revealed So Far

The Worldsoul Saga for World of Warcraft contains 3 expansion packs.

The other two expansions do not have many details revealed about them yet. That may be because the first one will be released at the end of next year. This means the following two will be released even later.

So, not revealing details about them seems the wise thing to do. There are, however, some details known about the expansions. The eleventh one, titled Midnight, will occur in Azeroth’s “Old World” in Quel’thalas. The development will see the invasion of Void forces. The Void Forces will also attempt to destroy the Sunwell successfully. Due to this, darkness will be dissipated across the world.

The final entry serves as an epilogue to the Worldsoul Saga. This will also take place in the Old World but in the Northend. The area served as the staging ground for the game’s second expansion. These expansions see the return of Titans to Azeroth and their uncovering of a conspiracy about the Titans and their intentions.

World of Warcraft, due to the studio’s continuous efforts, has become a force to be reckoned with in the MMORPG sphere. The new expansions announced for the match only hint that the studio has no plans to give up on the game.
