The World of Warcraft expansion, which is slated for release in 2022, is highly unlikely as Blizzard has stopped releasing Shadowlands patches. According to Blizzard Entertainment, patch 9.2 will be the last patch for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and will be released on February 22.
Shadowlands has been criticized by players for wait times between patches. According to the cptshooter spreadsheet, after its release on November 23, 2020, players had to wait 218 days for the release of patch 9.1. This makes the Shadowlands release patch the oldest release in World of Warcraft history.
With Blizzard Entertainment and the controversy surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Blizzard’s debut schedule has been slower than in previous years. However, according to the MMO Champion leak, some believe the new expansion might be released around November 14, 2022.
Although a World of Warcraft expansion is unlikely to be released in 2022, leaks and data hint at the potential future of World of Warcraft.
Michael “Belular” Bell made a video for World of Warcraft: Empire of Dragons, a potential new expansion, in which he analyzes the leak and the insights from the data.
Starym, the moderator for Icy Veins, said the new expansion will take players to the Dragon Islands, which would have expanded after World of Warcraft’s initial launch in 2004. Blizzard’s annual BlizzCon convention, as fans and players are eagerly awaiting the announcement. It is cancelled.
The cancellation of BlizzCon adds uncertainty to the future of World of Warcraft. With BlizzCon 2022 absent, the new expansion’s release date remains speculated by players and creators.
