Den sjette World of Warcraft-utvidelsen er allerede i utvikling

Blizzards femte utvidelse, World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, ble annonsert på helgens Blizzcon, men før den har rukket å få en lanseringsdato kan Blizzard avsløre at de jobber med nok en utvidelse.

"We've already started working on the expansion after [Warlords of Draenor]", fortalte Mike Morhaime til Polygon.

"We've never done that in the past. We've been doing one expansion at a time, sort of a very linear content creation model, and we've looked at ways that we can parallelize that. So that while we're working on this expansion we're looking at the new one."

"It's going to be on us and our development team to continually look at ways to evolve the game and keep it relevant, and look for new ways of maintaining engagement within the game. We view expansions as a huge opportunity to do that."

Morhaime fortalte også at målet er å slippe utvidelsene hyppigere i fremtiden.

"We recognize that we need to release them on a faster cadence than we have in the past. So we're investing in the team and our resources to enable us to do that."
