With the announcement<\/a> of an animated series based on the Shadowlands <\/em><\/strong>expansion (much like Battle for Azeroth<\/em>‘s “Warbringers”) to premiere on the first day of Gamescom<\/strong>, Activision Blizzard<\/strong> set expectations for another detail–the long-anticipated release date for the expansion itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although World of Warcraft: Shadowlands<\/strong><\/em> was unveiled in November 2019, Blizzard remained mum on when it would launch, especially once the COVID-19 pandemic caused unexpected delays. Expectant players looked to each of the many gaming announcement livestreams this summer for that reveal, with no reward. Fortunately, today was that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And October 27th, 2020 <\/strong>will be the<\/em> day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After another incredibly well-crafted animated short focusing on Uther the Lightbringer<\/strong> and the afterlife realm of Bastion<\/strong> (which you can watch below), another trailer immediately followed that began with the coveted release date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
