Which expansion is after BFA?

Now that we've finally got the South Seas expansion with BFA, what's left? Do you think it will be...

1-Return of the Lich King

2-Other Side of Azeroth

3-Return to Draenor and garrisons!

4-Return to Vash'jir and a fully underwater expansion after claiming Naga as an Allied Race after killing off Azshara!!

5-Alternate Universe versions of Azeroth and Argus.

What do you think will be next??

Calling it now, K'aresh, the Ethereal homeworld that was 'consumed' the Void.

Reasons?
-Void-themed, which is where the story seems to be going.
-Ethereals have been asked for as a playable race for a while.
-The Ethereals make an appearance out of nowhere in Mac'aree, with an updated model.
-A totally clean slate of lore that Blizzard can have a lot of creative power with.
Since with BfA, they are literally making up new lore as they go long, it could be anything.

Well, I take that back. The Old Gods are carryovers from the old lore and so is Azshara, but we're apparently killing Azshara. Still, without some idea of what direction we're going (like, say mid-expansion) it's hard to guess, but it'd have to be some kind of post-Old God tie-in, maybe something to do with Void Lords and maybe the introduction of Light Lords.
So soon, darling, really?

Let's just focus on the Battle for Azeroth and our totally not-going-to-have-Old-Gods-in-it expansion first.

You silly thing!

You do realize that your post is to your average Void Elf a dinner menu at an all-you-can-eat buffet, right?

Don't do this.

I'm finally getting over my mana addiction after centuries of struggling. Now this!

BfA will be the end. Last one.

I dunno why, I just have a gut feeling.
I'm guessing it will either be return of the Litch King or Wasteland, an expansion where the war didn't focus enough on the bigger threats so now Azeroth is in a post-apocalyptic state.

The second one is unlikely. But it could be like another Cataclysm.

They said ages ago that they had planned out the next two expansions after Legion, so at least one more.

That sounds like a good idea but I just have one question...

How can we go there if that planet was consumed??

I call shotgun to the dinner menu! Void à la mode!

I'm 100% convinced it'll get a good ol' ♫♪♫Blizzard retcon♫♪♫ to say that part of it wasn't...or something.

e: Plus in Netherstorm, we see the Ethereals setting up eco-domes that reverse the destruction of Farahlon, it's possible that either a.) the Ethereals are attempting to reconstruct K'aresh, or b.) the Ethereals set up some domes beforehand to protect some regions.

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate...

See, to me, 'consumed by the Void' means OBLIVION as in non-existence??
The one after BFA is the next one calling it now.

Star Auger Etreaus shows us in his fight what a "void consumed" planet looks like in his final phase.

Do people think they sat down 20 years ago and wrote out 40 expansions worth of lore or something? Of course they're writing it as they go. It's all brand new. All we have at this point is the history. They write new lore and content based off the characteristics of the game and the theme.

On a side note, a lot of the stuff isn't as big a surprise to people who watch the lore theory stuff like Pyromancer or Accolon and actually follow the lore. Just because people don't understand why something is happening now and then it comes together later doesn't mean Blizzard didn't have that exact scenario planned all along.
The other side of Azeroth.

Calling it now. Azeroth will fall to the void and all the people in it will migrate to different planet.

Lets call it a "reset."

We've been fighting the old gods the whole time in one form or another. But there's one we've been fighting unwittingly for a while now that we haven't actually met just yet. >:)
