    Pretty hard to get any word done when your team is probably constantly changing right now.

    Ion right now: "Hey Middle-Manager... when is that system going to be done?"
    Manager: "uh.. Joe-Bob (the guy that worked on it for 6 months) left like 2 months ago and no one can find the file he was working on. I'm having 5 guys redirected from what they were doing to try to rebuild it from scratch."

    So some history on when the next expansion was announced compared to when the current one "ended" as far as the final raid release is concerned.

    Burning Crusade was announced (10/28/2005) well before Naxx40 released on (06/20/2006).
    Wrath was announced (08/03/2007) well before Sunwell released (03/02/2008)
    Cata was announced (08/21/2009) well before ICC was released (12/08/2009)
    Mists was announced (10/21/2011) slightly before Dragon Soul was released (11/29/2011)
    WOD was announced (11/08/2013) slightly after SoO released (09/10/2013)
    Legion was announced (08/06/2015) slightly after Hellfire Citadel released (06/23/2015)
    BFA was announced (11/03/2017) slightly before Antorus released (11/28/2017)
    Shadowlands was announced (11/01/2019) slightly before Nyalotha released (01/21/2020)

    Basically from this we can see that out of the 8 expansions to compare, only two had their final raid release before the next expansion announcement with one of them (WOD) basically being a dropped expansion and Mists famous for a relatively fast patch release schedule with an overly long final patch.

    BFA announcement made no mention of Sargeras sticking a huge sword into the planet so I doubt that "Villain attacks planet" is enough to stop them from announcing an expansion. Cata's announcement trailer even mentions how the war against the Lich King continues. Finally Ion himself joked during the Shadowlands announcement that even though 8.3 hadn't released yet, thanks to datamining everyone already knew it was going to turn out fine anyways so they had no problem looking forward.

    Hiding, as usual.

    After all his disastrous interviews, i imagine they don't let him out of the cave anymore.
