In a rather surprising and unexpected official statement, Blizzard revealed its plans for the first episode of 2022 with World of Warcraft and Hearthstone. We hear about the upcoming release of a new mobile game specifically World of Warcraft and especially the announcement of the ninth extension of World of Warcraft.
- Remember the date: The next expansion announcement will be made on Tuesday, April 19, 2022!
Official Blizzard press release
What could the next expansion be about?
For now, and until the Prison Breaker is defeated, almost anything is possible. As we showed in our article on one of them, the latest possible leak is unlikely to be true.
However, interesting elements referring to the “Mountain of the Emerald Dragon” seem to point in two directions:
- Developing the theme of the cosmic power that is life
- An expansion featuring dragons and possibly the long-awaited Dragon Island
We know we will return to Azeroth and face the crimes committed by Silvanas, especially during the Fourth War. This inevitably includes a special relationship with Tyrand Wispervind, whose people he killed but burned down to ashes.
In the Shadow Realm, after learning that the Queen of Winter is Elun and that she is the “goddess” of the Realm of Life, and that this god has long been at the center of a plot with the Tyrant. It’s amazing to connect with him in any way. But players looking for more “earthly” gambles don’t want more (or less) cosmic themes featuring enemies too strong for us.
So, according to the cosmology of the Realm of Death, we can be drawn into an emerald dream “in the middle” that pulls Azeroth away from living space like the Shadowlands. Very similar to Shadowlands. In a less “cosmic” way, for example in the alternative “green” version of Azeroth. This explains why this so-called “emerald dragon” boost, the purchase of which will be reserved for owners of the next Deluxe Edition expansion, is so closely associated with the flight of the green dragon, this mysterious green world that players have long dreamed of. of.
In our opinion, this is the most compelling theory to date. The Dragon Islands hypothesis also remains a very serious lead, but we know so little about him that it would be difficult to say more, it also explains what the Green Dragons will do in this story. In short, the Dragon Islands should be an archipelago with several areas, each dedicated to dragon flights.
Still difficult to say more because the Jailer is undefeated and it is therefore unknown what Blizzard will leave in the future both to this main enemy and to Azeroth, who can be seriously injured according to the game’s adventure code.
