The subsequent growth within the World of Warcraft franchise might have been leaked, all because of an intrepid participant who was merely messing round with Blizzard’s API.
A publish on the WoW subreddit by a person named Wiraneusz confirmed off some datamined unlisted achievements which might be nowhere to be discovered within the recreation. A type of achievements references a possible mount known as the Algarian Stormrider, which might seemingly be the mount that’s included within the Heroic Version of the sport’s subsequent growth. The datamined achievement known as “Heroic Version: Algarian Stormrider,” so it’s seemingly that that’s the case.
Whereas this info isn’t sufficient to construct any theories by itself, it does level us in the suitable path. A participant within the feedback of the aforementioned Reddit thread named jump9575 famous that an space known as Khaz Algar was hinted at by the WoW devs by notes and objects within the new Dragonflight dungeon Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, and that the zone could possibly be a serious focal point sooner or later.
Uldaman and the possibly new zone, Khaz Algar, each have lots to do with the lore of the titans, a race of primordial beings whose origins and goal we’ve explored extensively all through Dragonflight’s predominant marketing campaign. Gamers had been initially underneath the impression that we’d be getting a full-fledged titan zone in Dragonflight known as Avaloren (which was additionally teased by notes in Uldaman), however after the sport took us within the path of Zaralek Cavern and the Emerald Dream, fan-driven concepts surrounding a titan zone had been shelved for the longer term.
It shouldn’t be an excessive amount of of a stretch to go from Dragonflight to a titan-themed growth. The sport’s ongoing storyline has arrange some severe cosmic threats, with villains like Iridikron and Scalecommander Sarkareth each being clearly within the Outdated Gods, essentially the most direct threats to the titans.
It’s doable that the subsequent WoW growth could possibly be introduced at BlizzCon later this yr, with the Algarian Stormrider being revealed as a pre-order bonus. Sometimes, growth bulletins come nearly each different yr, and judging by that schedule, WoW must be due for an additional announcement someday within the coming months.
