New World Of Warcraft Expansion To Be Revealed Next Week
Blizzard is taking the opportunity at Gamescom to announce the next step for World of Warcraft. A new expansion will be revealed next week via live stream.
There are two different opportunities to find out more about what’s next for the long-running MMO. On Thursday, August 6, at 9 a.m. Pacific / 12 p.m. Eastern, you’ll get your first look at the new content.
Then, on Sunday, August 9, at 8 a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. Eastern, developers will be chatting about the expansion. Live stream details will be posted on Blizzard’s dedicated Gamescom page when available.

Our Take
If this hints at a ramped up production schedule for World of Warcraft expansions, it might help even the peaks and valleys of subscriber numbers. Warlords of Draenor (our impressions) saw the game reach the highest volume of paying players in years, and if this add-on drives the same enthusiasm, it’ll be another good year for Activision Blizzard.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
