Blizzard announces World of Warcraft’s next 3 expansions: ‘We ain’t screwin’ around,’ declares Chris Metzen

Chris Metzen made a full-throated return to the World of Warcraft spotlight today, commanding the BlizzCon 2023 stage to announce not just one World of Warcraft expansion, but a decade of expansions that will make up the “Worldsoul Saga.”

The first three of those expansions, Metzen revealed, will be:

• The War Within: “You will be descending into the heart of Azeroth itself, exploring new subterranean kingdoms, and engaging with ancient cultures, like the Earthen and the terrifying Nerubians of Ahn’kahet.”
• Midnight: “You will be returning—ready?—to the Old World, to the fabled lands of Quel’Thalas. There, the forces of the void have invaded Azeroth, intent on snuffing out the light of the Sunwell, and plunging the world into darkness and fear.”
• The Last Titan: “You will again be returning to the Old World, this time to the wintery lands of Northrend. And there, at Ulduar, you will bear witness to the return of the Titans to Azeroth.”
