Speaking toWarcraft Wiki representativeKaydeethree, Blizzard representatives have spoken about the upcoming World of Warcraft expansions making up the Worldsoul Saga. In order to speed up the process, they revealed that “Teams have been parallelized, they’re already working on Midnight.”
Midnight is the second chapter in the trifecta of Worldsoul Saga expansions, which will be coming alongside The War Within, and The Last Titan.
“We’re very good now at working at multiple things simultaneously, and have built out that pipeline to be able to work on expansions in parallel.”
As one person whoposted the news on Twitter(or X), Ian Bates, notes “I’d hope the simultaneous development helps prevent the kind of inconsistencies we’ve seen from a loser way of planning multi expansion storylines, but that depends on how much the separate teams working on different expansions communicate with each other.”
So there’s a lot of internal movement to get the expansions over to us sooner rather than later, though whether this parallelising will prove a deficit or a boon is another matter entirely.
