World of Warcraft is turning 22 this year, and Blizzard doesn’t seem to be phasing it out. the middle part of the Worldsoul Saga, the Midnight expansion, is arriving on march 26th, and there will definitely be news for WoW players in a few years, as the trilogy will be completed by The Last Titan. In this, Blizzard will revisit and reshape Northrend, which the developers talked about extensively in the following video.
Game Informer interviewed the creators of The Last Titan, and although development is still in its early stages, the concept is already in place. Northrend is the frozen North of Azeroth, where the WarCraft III and Frozen Throne expansions, as well as the WoW’s Wrath of the Lich king, took place. The latter already had a Classic version, meaning we could relive the expansion, and Blizzard isn’t ashamed to admit they will return there in The Last Titan, because who said you can’t visit and rethink older areas?!
The Worldstone Saga’s previous episodes have already shown, or will show, an example of what will happen with Northrend, as Blizzard is handling this issue likewise as with Silvermoon. The goal is to make the old, nostalgic areas recognizable, while also offering a lot of newness and freshness to users. In this way, they are expanding and rethinking a lot of things, because a few years have passed in the world of World of Warcraft, not to mention the events that have shaped the game world.
Director Ion Hazzikostas emphasized that whether they are nostalgic or innovative, they always keep in mind that nothing should feel outdated in Northrend. Or don’t
