This past weekend saw Blizzard’s annual BlizzCon event make its return to Los Angeles, and the company didn’t disappoint, as it featured a number of announcements and tournaments to keep fans happy. Among them – a new chapter in the ongoing World of Warcraft saga.
Titled Warlords of Draenor, this fifth expansion to the popular online MMO sends players to a mysterious new realm, during a pivotal moment in history to fight alongside – and against – legends from Warcraft’s history.
“Warlords of Draenor gives players a chance to take a commanding role in one of the Warcraft series’ most crucial conflicts,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “This expansion also includes features that make it easy for anyone to jump right into the action, whether they’ve played WoW at some point in the past or are just setting foot in Azeroth for the first time.”
Featuring fully revamped player models and animations, as well as a character boost up to level 100, the expansion should be quite popular with fans. The new Dungeons, Zones, Raids, Scenarios and Battlegrounds should also keep them busy for hours on end.
No word yet on release date, but it’s likely to arrive in 2014.
