A recent press release
from Blizzard Entertainment reveals that Mists
of Pandaria will be World of Warcraft
Classic's first, and only, expansion.
World of Warcraft Classic is an alternate version of the MMO giant,
released in August 2019 to appeal to players who wished to play the game as it
was prior to the many paid expansions of the original. Since launch, many
players have been speculating if Blizzard would invest in legacy versions of
these expansions as well. The news broke this morning that the company was
interested in just that, but only for the fourth expansion, Mists of Pandaria.
Citing that the expansion
"appealed most to the company's current sensibilities", the press
release stated that Mists of Pandaria
was the only expansion they would add to Classic,
ever. It additionally revealed that though some beloved parts of previous
expansions would be kept untouched, like all lore involving Kael'Thas
Sunstrider, changes would be necessary to adapt to the sudden jump in content.
