World of Warcraft 5.0 - Panda Mania!

World of Warcraft 5.0 - Panda Mania!
In the latest Patch 4.1 PTR Build, two new halloween masks textures have been added to the game files:


  • Helm_MaskHalloween_PaF.blp
  • Helm_MaskHalloween_PaM.blp

They seem to be early-alpha texture but according to what happened with the datamining/leak of the Cataclysm races 2 years ago, it looks like Pandarens will be the race of the next expansion! The name of texture for any piece of headset always ends with the first 2 character of the name of the race (Pa) and the gender (M/F), according to how the textures look it's really easy to conclude what the new race is.


More datamining reveals that the expansion is apparently named Panda Mania! and also uncovered a possible trailer ....

    Can I get a hug now for not being a hater?

    Seriously, people still want Pandaren? Seriously, what ever happened to the good April Fools jokes? The Patch 1.11 Evil patch Notes is still, to me, their best joke.

    Token down a notch would of been hella funnier.
    I'll reply to this one because it wasn't completely a giant troll.

    MMO-Champion has more than 1M visits a day, if I make something actually believable, it means I will create a giant shitstorm on the official forums and make the life of tons of secondary fansites + Blizzard hell for a day just because of a joke.

    I like the current format, people see the masks and go WTF for a minute, then they click the video and realize it's a joke and smile. Instant gratification, no consequence or terrible apocalypse everywhere.

    Plus I get to troll everyone when it turns out to be true in a few months.

    also to add to what boub was saying, hopefully at this point people realize not to take "big news" seriously this day of the year. If blizz really wanted to cause a shit storm they would introduce real, major changes/additions to the game on 4/1.

    Why are the Panderan the joke in like every April Fools joke. :C

    I hope they release the masks though. Hopefully China won't bust a nut over masks.

    Too obvious, "Panda Mania!" gives it away hardcore.

    Happy April Fools, though!

    But it wasn't obvious that it wasn't Blizzard's?

    Maybe you aren't so perceptive.
