I find it funny that there’s no evidence of Dodger in this short

And then in the end, we have a cinematic with Khadgar smiling towards Azeroth's implosion just like Louisoux in FF14 😂

WoW 2? With how much the game has changed it feels like we're on WoW 3 or 4 by now.

[Joeyhate]

Should be a "few hundred years later" as a sequel. They could let real meanful time pass to let the actions we do that closes wows story have a long enough lasting impression and actually feeling accomplishing about. That way we are introduced to a whole batch of new characters that either carry the legacy or just are brand new.

[LuckySmurf]

Ending WoW and hoping that those subs would move over to WoW2 sounds like a great idea.

[InquisitorThomas]

I feel the primary concern is how much of the playerbase New WoW would carry over from old WoW.

1. A lot of WoW’s continued relevance is based on inertia, it was the Big MMO in the world for years, so a lot of people have time and resources invested in WoW, if you create a brand new WoW then that investment vanishes for a lot of players.

2. WoW and Blizzard’s reputation aren’t exactly what they once were. Blizzard has been the industry’s golden boy for a while, and So a lot of people’s reactions to WoW 2 announcement is probably going to be “How is Blizzard going to fuck it up this time?”

[localshaman]

They'll never do WoW 2. I used to think they would but i think theres a real awareness at Blizz that a lot of people only play WoW now out of habbit/nostalgia and if they give people a jumping out point then that's it, a large chunk just aren't coming back. Which in itself is fine, but Blizz is a money driven company, if they aint making bank then they aint interested.

[SatinFoxx]

RuneScape 2, RuneScape 3, soon to be Rs4, great examples of going to a new engine, keeping the game, advancing major plot lines at the time. I can see this working well, if they don’t shoot themselves in the foot like usual.

[xarris]

To me the hugeness of wow is pivotal. I agree the emptiness isn't great for gameplay but it's nice sometimes. it's what keeps me playing, just chilling in the world

[khfan]

Having even an iota of faith in blizzard in the year of our lord 2024 is hilarious but also sad

[drudle]

I'm in the same line of thought. The moment they said it was a three part saga to finish off the Worldsoul, and the final expansion is "The Last Titan" and that they were reusing a large party of the old world? My assumption is that they're going to be lessening up resources on the current expansions to go full force into WoW2

[Zelda]

Even if WoW2 was coming in the future, I don't see many people going for it if there's a remote chance of losing all of your achievements/mounts/outfits, which is a possibility.

[brother_sothoth]

Just stopping by to say love the Cult of the Lamb ost as the music choice

[swampylogs]

my concern with a new engine for WoW would be them not being able to replicate the feel of playing the game. the way it feels to move around and use your abilities in WoW is subtly unique and also very familiar to every longtime player. I worry that a new engine would just feel off

[eduardorueda]

I think it would be mind-blowing if Azeroth finally comes alive and by doing so, of course breaks the whole world into pieces. Then we are forced to find another world to live in and actually go there (like we did in Legion going to Argus), giving way to the next expansion, in a whole new world to explore, new threats, beings, etc... That would be wicked.

[TitanDraugen]

While I do want a WoW 2 with a new engine, I remember what they did with Overwatch and start to think maybe we don't need a sequel.

[KnownAsKenji]

I think one of the big reasons for push-back on this subject, is its being brought up about 15 years too late.
A lot of people don't have faith it will ever happen anymore. They've done 'resets' of things in the game and lore multiple times and it never meant a sequel then.

[vigilantScrivener]

I’m a bit melancholic about the state of WoW now. Warcraft was one of the first fantasy series I dug in really deep to understand since the idea that orcs could be good was something that basically didn’t exist to me beforehand.

Since then I’ve leaned far more heavily into books and have realized WoW has always been a bit shallow and was drawing on pre-existing fantasy tropes in one form or another, but despite that it remains foundational to me.

[dtulip]

That's the whole vibe I've been getting this exp

[TemporallyAnarchaic]

I was really hoping that we'd get that world-changing craziness after Legion. My HOPE for what became Battle for Azeroth was that we would find that N'zoth had finally broken free of his bonds, and the ENTIRETY of our victory in Legion was a fever dream induced by N'zoth to keep us busy while he took over the world. We would return to a reawakened Black Empire.

They could have done this at so many points and it would have been an effective story. "Hey, you were gone for two years and shit hit the fan." BfA? Shadowlands especially would have been a killer time to do it. Even WoD would have been fantastic, as we were lore-wise STUCK there for some time. There were even points where they could have written in viable time dilation to explain this happening.

But I think they're afraid to destroy the world again. Or they were. They needed Metzan to write them out of their mistakes, first, and they wanted to improve the game such that people weren't just upset for no reason.


We're now staring down another Old God villain, and it would again be a perfect time to unleash the renewed Black Empire emerging while the heroes of the world slept as a storyline.

And, I mean, we sorta got that in BfA, right? We got Black Empire invasions. But that's small ball. They need to go bigger.

Also, gosh dammit, we need to see the shadow of Yogg-Saron's corpse choke the land of Northrend for all eternity. "Uulwi ifis halahs g'ag err ong w'ssht." (This was from memory, I think it's *close* to correct, but I don't feel like looking it up; I think I'ma go resub.)
