Good to finally have an announcement date. It’s a light at the end of the tunnel after the darkness that has been Shadowlands.
I fully expect a deluge of “leaks” popping up after this announcement. Good luck everyone!

Six weeks feels way too long from now. I think I would've preferred not knowing until two weeks, since I'd basically gotten over hype/expecting news. Now I'm all anxious with waiting again, bleh.![]()
Someone needs to make an expansion "leak" called the Worlds of World of Warcraft
I knew there would be an announcement this week. I did not know the contents of the announcement. Very surprised that they are waiting this long to reveal.
Nice to get confirmation finally, I'm not expecting the real leak until April. I'm surprised they are waiting until the LFR wing is out to announce it. Perhaps we can see some PTR stuff with 9.2.5 while we wait.
Mmm, part of me wouldn't think they's announce the expansion without releasing the Epilogue chapter, but maybe they will?
Unless the Epilogue isn't left for 8.2.5 and they drop it in the following weeks, around the launch of the novel.
But i'm still leaning on the Epilogue being left for 8.2.5 even if that happens well after mid April. (Tho the PTR for it might happen sooner than expected)
Bring forth the hype train
I will not reply to posts that are non-constructive or contain flaming and/or trolling.
That's a good question, but rather impossible to tell by definition—nevertheless, there's some Dragon elements, but not enough to really say it's setting up a future plot. The only thing that seems to really be setting up a future plot is whatever's happening on Azeroth, such as the Scourge invasion and Turalyon going full Hitler mode.
Well, there's also another option - the later they announce the expansion, the more time for development. They just released a final patch - announcement of an expansion that will be released within a year or even later won't build a hype to bring players to WoW (apart from pre-orders), so they are not in hurry. Whoever wanted to play 9.2, already plays it. 19th of April is convinient, because it's the time when Jailer becomes available on LFR, and as it doesn't really matter, because people will already have the finale seen on mmo-champion or wowhead, it's still a good marketing choice, because it's the last missing piece for the release schedule of 9.2 - in other words: 9.2 will be released for players in every possible way. And thus, it kinda makes sense for that date, altough I'd die waiting, it's sooo long
Good for them, I hope they learnt the lesson and take the time needed to provide a proper content, without cutting a ton of it due to lack of time and resources.
Possible next expansions:
Dragon Isles
Lightbound Invasion
Undermine
Empire of Dragons
Anything else?
Awakenings. Or something like MoP or WoD that no one expected.

There’s still 2.4 which is pretty massive. And it’s just 8 months until the anniversary from now on. But I see WotLK Classic in November a lot more likely than 10.0 this year.
