Today at BlizzCon, Blizzard formally revealed World of Warcraft: Shadowlands as the next expansion coming to the widely-popular MMORPG.
The announcement of Shadowlands broke to thunderous applause from fans, following the reveal of the expansion’s cinematic trailer. The trailer answered fans questions of just what Sylvanas Windrunner is up to, but also leaves many questions—as there must always be a Lich King… but now there is none. Readers can check out the trailers for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands below, witnessing for themselves the battle between Sylvanas Windrunner and Bolvar Fordragon.
