It’s been a bumpy ride for Blizzard developing World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. After its initial announcement in BlizzCon 2019, Blizzard lived through a global pandemic and found themselves in the middle of the Black Lives Matter movement – all of which messed up a regular announcement and development schedule. While the original World of Warcraft: Shadowlands update stream with World of Warcraft executive producer John Hight and game director Ion Hazzikostas was delayed, Blizzard announced a new date for the stream – July 8th.
According to some rumors, this developer update won’t be just a simple talk regarding the status of the expansion. Since there won’t be any BlizzCon 2020, many World of Warcraft fans are expecting to hear a few surprises during the stream as well as an official release date for WoW: Shadowlands.
In any case, Shadowlands expansion seems like a promising one. After a huge mess that was Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard wants to redeem themselves in the eyes of the players. So far the feedback from World of Warcraft: Shadowlands alpha was very good – players were praising new leveling zones, dungeons and even it’s new end-game progression system called Covenants. Additionally, with Shadowlands, Blizzard is shifting their focus to player’s characters, making a lot of class changes as well as adding some new customization options for each race in the game.
