Blizzard set to announce the launch date of World Of Warcraft’s latest expansion late next week in conjunction with a cinematic trailer.
World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s flagship title and money-spinning MMO, is currently deep into the final chapter of the Mists of Pandaria expansion, and with much of the content exhausted hungry gamers are ravenous for more. The fifth expansion – Warlords of Draenor – is currently in Beta and until today gave away little in terms of a release date, much to the chagrin of fans who desperately wanted a mid-summer rather than autumn release date.
Thankfully Blizzard have finally let gamers known when they will find out a definitive launch date for the expansion:
