I was gonna point out how it's probably part of a series of unit showcases, but this is the only actual Unit showcase they have. Originally Posted by ZyntosAran

Seeding the name of an entirely new region one time in the previous expansion is still a bit of an asspull. I'm not bothered by some entirely new continent but world revamp can't come later than 12.0 Originally Posted by Arafal

Dragon Isles did it already with one singular sentence in an Island Expedition drop quest that most people probably didn't do. Originally Posted by Ersula

What would be extremely funny is a WoW Artist making a fake leak from the real leak. It's not "Stormbreak" it's "Stormbeak caw caw" Gryphon expansion. Originally Posted by Akhinos

The idea that "Stormbreak" would be a Dwarf expansion because a dwarf and gryphon is on the cover/the CE is a gryphon is absolutely insane.

I wouldn't really say the "Dragon Isles have been referenced since Warcraft 2" based on one multiplayer map which was called that because it was literally a dragons head. Originally Posted by Ersula

Same deal with Shadowlands. Yeah, we knew it existed, but we didn't really know what it was.

Even then, the logo looks far too close to the old one. We've just set a precedent of totally-distinct logo backgrounds with Dragonflight, so I think that any return to variants on the old logo can be easily written off unless we're trying to sell Classic+ content. Originally Posted by Ersula

Why do people believe “Stormbreak” indicates revamp?

Stormbreak debunked.
As we prepared for DF, the Expansion Reveal ad had a new font-face for the "World of Warcraft" in this image
We were right in suspecting the change would be seen on an official new logo, as it was on Dragonflight.
This tipped us off to any fake leaks, and it shouldn't stop us now.
Both "of" and the "R" in the new Dragonflight logo are notably changed, and are unlikely to be reverted now that they have that Render of the text to reuse. Classic has a longer, curved R. DF has a shorter/straighter/sharper R.
Stormbreak is very seemingly just using this old vanilla shape for the "R", and even the "of" is still the small one.Last edited by elderu; 2023-10-02 at 08:36 PM.

i think this is something people have to remember. Every single Expansion for WoW has references already somewhere that are bigger than a single line in some book that was only very recently added. Originally Posted by Makorus

Cataclysm - Warcraft 2 - Deathwing was already a thing back then and there was a hideous visual game with thrall that also had deathwing in it. The elemental zones were known from the Warcraft RPG. Gilneas and Kezan were also quite known already.
MoP - Joke character from WC3 turned into full Addon (this one is the closest to an asspull, altough the expac was great)
WoD - Return to pre-WC1 Draenor, but a well known place
Legion - Broken Isles were a small part from WC2/WC3, but not totally unknown
BfA - The Zandalari Empire and Kul'Tiras were longs known locations.
SL - Referenced during the life of WoW
DF - Dragonisles longs known, part of some WoW Vanilla Map even
Any Expasnion based on Avaloren/Khaz'Algar would have next to no understanding in the wider playerbase to get an idea of what is to be expected. Which also brings the big risk of not getting hype for it.

Isn't it a default? There's nothing insane about it actually. Originally Posted by Cheezits

Because the logo looks like the vanilla logo. Originally Posted by Santandame

Just let us have this. Dwarf fans have had so little for so long. Though there's a good chance Dwarves don't even appear in the reveal cinematic: Shadowlands didn't show any of the Shadowlands besides the very tip of Torghast. WoD cinematic didn't show any of Kul Tiras or Zandalar. Legion was just the broken shore, etc. Originally Posted by Cheezits

It's also Deathwing using the Dark Nexus or whatever it was called skin, clearly Deathwing is there representing Heroes of the Storm not WoW. Originally Posted by Teriz
