One might have expected, that the tenth expansion for World of Warcraft would be announced at the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2023. Meanwhile, Blizzard - and specifically Chris Metzen, a veteran of the universe who recently has once again taken the helm of it - has revealed as many as three upcoming expansions. They bear the titles:

1. The War Within;
2. Midnight;
3. The Last Titan.

Below you can watch an impressive trailer for the first of the DLCs. It will be released first - in the fall of 2024.

The expansions represent a new story line in the universe of WoW. It has been referred to as the Worldsoul Saga. Chris Metzen assured that it will be such an epic story that one expansion will not be enough to tell it fully. Therefore, it is to consist of these three expansions, which will be released over several years.

The first one, The War Within, will enable the players to visit never-seen underground lands, "full of hidden wonders and dangers lurking for the adventurers." They will lead all the way to the dark abysses of the nerubian empire, where the Harbinger of the Void gathers the arachnids with whom she intends to conquer all of Azeroth.

It is worth mentioning that pre-sale of the The War Within have already launched. It is available on Battle.net in three versions - Basic, Heroic and Epic, costing €49.99, €69.99 and €89.99, respectively. The graphic below shows what elements are included in each of these editions.
