Oh, hooray. Announcement of another expansion while the current one is still in need of massive fixes. Nothing screams inept so well.

Oh, so that’s why we have to wait until April…

We still might not, most of the time expansions are released in different years than they were announced.

Cool, was expecting an expansion reveal in march/april so glad it’s early april. I definitely am skeptical on how things play out as the team has said lots of things before then when it’s launched, I got sold short on the ideas presented.

It’s still his day of birth. I celebrate that more than the day it ended.

It’s not releasing this year, we can be sure of that. Even if the alpha started the day they announced it they still wouldn’t have time to finish it. 2023 will be a big year for them though, the expansion and other games will be coming out then!

Announcement of an expansion is not the same as release of said expansion. It takes them a very long time to do that. Closed Alpha and Closed Beta states take months. Open beta takes as long. And then PTR. No, this will not be available until probably summer next year at the soonest. All that time and they still won’t have it mostly bug free. They’ll rush it to coincide with another game’s launch and be buggy as hell to start. As usual.

More than likely not. With an April announcement, even if they said Alpha / Beta realms were going up that day, it would be tight for a Q4 release. Seeing as they do need to take their time with that, expect a Q1 2023 release.

I’d rather they are working more on the next one than fixing this beyond repair one.

FWIW I’m actually really concerned they are revealing this early. It means there will be a baaaad expectation gap because of how early things are. This is not good IMO. I get it… they want to build hype but building hype and then failing to deliver is what gets us another shadowlands or BFA.

Hey, maybe they’re actually fixing the bugs that suck for once

We already know there will be lots of elves, what I want is the gnomes. Every time the gnomes come around, everyone loves it and it’s spectacular! Think: when did BfA get good? Mechagon time, GNOMES baby! Increase the gnome count, increase your playerbase’s enjoyment!

They haven’t made the bugs yet… that’s the problem with early reveals.
No, we are waiting for april because the final content for SL is Sylvanas’ judgement, which I believe is end of March. Then they will effectively give people about two week to mull it over before trying to blind people with the next shiny expansion.

This is early? SL is already in its final major patch and end tier. It’s still a long ways from releasing, but right now they have a completely empty road ahead and have to start talking about it.
Typically expansions do get announced within a year or so before it comes out so this is normal. If anything they’re announced this one pretty late.
