Object of many rumors and various fantasies (Fortnite style crashdragons as a future theme), the ninth expansion of World of Warcraft has unofficially made a lot of noise in recent weeks. In question, the last major content update of Shadowlands : patch 9.2, called The End of Eternitydirects the players towards an inevitable scenario turn that constitutes a species “epilogue of Shadowlands but also many intrigues that started with Warcraft III“. Disappointed with the previous two expansions, several members of the community believe that the next World of Warcraft expansion is the last chance for Blizzard to boost the game’s esteem among players.
This ninth extension, therefore expected for many reasons, was formalized yesterday and will be presented in due form on April 19 (time unknown) by the World of Warcraft development team.. Regarding its MMO, Blizzard makes no statements around Wrath of the Lich King Classic of which some files seemed been spotted last week.

Hearthstone, a new year
But of course, the Warcraft franchise is not limited to WoW. Since 2014, it’s the card game Hearthstone which takes over the universe of the saga in a game available on PC, Mac and mobiles. Since 2016, the card game has adopted an annual format for releasing expansions: each year highlights a specific theme during which three expansions are released in accordance with this theme. From March 2021 to March 2022 passed the Year of the Griffin, which saw three sets of cards agree on the Horde and Alliance conflict. Furthermore, it should be noted that 2021 saw the birth of the fundamental set: “it is free for everyone and replaces the basic and classic maps of Standard mode” and is obtained by leveling each class to level 10.
The year of the Griffon is therefore coming to an end and the changes to this fundamental set are eagerly awaited to bring the game back to life. Don’t panic, since it’s the March 15 that announcements will be made in this regard :
On March 15, the Hearthstone development team will share details regarding the first of three expansions planned for this year. Following this, she will provide more information on plans for Hearthstone in 2022, including annual changes to the core set.
As for the new extension of World of Warcraft, nothing has been specified upstream but knowing that announcements are planned soon will reassure players of the card game.

Made official when Activision-Blizzard’s financial results are publishedthe game will be intended for mobile devices and that it “will bring exclusive Warcraft content (…) to players for the first time“. ”’The appointment is therefore made for the month of May since John Hight, General Manager of Warcraft, promises to talk regarding it in detail at that time.
