What could another Lich King expansion look like?

[Deleted]

I think at this point it's clear that they are building up to another Lich King expansion. It's either the next one or the one after that.

What I am wondering is

- How are they gonna do that? Bolvar as the main villain would clearly mean that we're sort of tied to Northrend, cause he resides in Icecrown Citadel.
- Would they revamp Northrend? Put Chromie there to switch back and forth between old and new Northrend?
- Would they come up with completely new zones?
- Maybe an expansion in the Shadowlands, but a whole expansion there? Is there enough variety?

Vrykul Continent with Death theme. Helya, Odyn, Sylvanas, Taelia, Jaina, Anduin, Bwonsamdi and ofc, Bolvar.

Isn't helya dead? (i don't raid so jsut assumed she died in the raid?)

Zombie Dragons.

What is the indication that another Lich King expansion is coming?

They keep adding new undead models (latest is the armored skeleton - the one with the severed head attached to its belt, though it's no longer a head but a skull), so if the next expansion isn't about Bolvar and the Scourge I'll be surprised.

Personally I want to see the rest of Azjol-Nerub. It's a massive empire beneath most of Northrend, so they won't be lacking in content to expand upon.

BFA is full of the undead theme. Build-up with Bolvar over Legion. Now something datamined with Vol'jin.

Shadowlands. It's barely been explored there's literally infinite shit they can throw into it.

Nope, shes very much alive.

Never guarantee they are building up to something until you literally see a villain walk out from behind the throne.

But if they did do another Lich King expansion, I hope they set it somewhere other than Northrend. Northrend is cool and all.... in 2008. Even updated a lot of people would feel like it is supremely lazy to just HDify an existing continent and call it a day. Set it north of Northrend in the ice cap. Or set it in Azjol'Nerub. Or set it in the Shadowlands. Just not "Northrend Revamped!"

Island Expeditions drop a ring that you turn into the Valarjar quartermaster, and he says Helya is growing in power and laughs at you for thinking she can be killed.

And make Dalaran our main base of operation ?

That's been my No.1 request for the game since forever. Azjol-Nerub really deserves its due.

Don't joke about that. I can't go back. Not agaiiin

Is that from the island expedition? I find those really cool. They convey some interesting lore bits through those.

Something about feral druids going into exile and Azerite being seen as a new element by some elementals and being rejected by other. Interesting way to drop those lore bits.

Yeah they wouldn't that. Just because it gets confusing with the teleport spells. Maybe a new base in Crystalsong Forest.

Well, yeah, of course it has undead themes.

Loa of the dead.
Banshee Queen (But she was in Legion too).
The Drust.

Legion had a lot of 'death' theme too, after all with the Vrykul, Helya and Sylvie.

Yeah there's been some build-up in Legion as well.

My idea (I wrote it here few times):

Theme: simple - Lich King is back and revive all corpses fallen in countless Horde/Alliance battles.

Class: Necromancer: mail, 2 specs: heal and ranged DPS.

"Continent": Northern Lordareon, 5 zones - Elven kingdom zone, Human kingdom zone, Plaguelands zone, Dragon Isles, some kind of winter zone.

Capital: rebuilded Stratholme, neutral hub both for Horde and Alliance (or rather remains of Horde and Alliance).

Artifact: class relic visible on your character (so Artifact skin hunting is back), traits tree similar to Legion (but you get AP for all specs like in BfA), new slot introduced just for relic.

Patch content: expanded Old Kingdom under Northend, theme will slowly switch from Scourge to full Old God.

I don't mind the whole undead thing but I really hope the Lich King stays where he is. I'm still waiting on an expansion where we fight Sargeras at the end. I swear that when I heard about Legion, I thought "about... freaking... time!" When it wasn't so, I was like -_-

I'm gonna go on a limb and say Bolvar will resurrect the entire Black Empire, making him a more dangerous threat than Arthas ever was. After all, if the LK could raise the Nerubians, what's to stop him from raising the Aqir? This would also allow them to do the whole "Underground Lost Continent" theme that they didn't get to explore in Wrath with Azjol-Nerub.

Fill it out with the Shadowlands and some other weird, underground plotlines like the Blingtron War, and then throw in the Scourge burrowing up into and invading zones all around the world, and you have a whole expansion of content.

I was thinking along the exact same lines. A second wack at fleshing out Azjol-Nerub would probably be a big priority for the veterans on the dev team.
