Following months of anticipation WOW TBC Classic Gold, Blizzard eventually lifted the veil on the wildly anticipated expansion and surfaced a launch date trailer in this year's Gamescom on August 27.

Read : Blizzard pays tribute to Reckful by adding him to WoW as Rogue Trainer Shadowlands will formally be releasing this dip on October 27. Considering that the game's underworld setting, it could not have chosen a better time to release with Halloween right around the corner.

Shadowlands follows the events of Sylvanas Windrunner and the Lich, and will have gamers venturing into a new realm where they will team up with four covenants.

The upcoming expansion's endgame attributes The Maw which is lore's version of hell. The unique style will probably be timed, and lovers will get booted from the area for a day -- creating quests, and obtaining items all the harder.

Original pre-expansion World of Warcraft -- commonly known as'vanilla' WoW -- didn't stay in one state throughout its lifespan. Like every expansion as, the game received many different updates as the game evolved, introducing new content and features, in addition to advancing the story on the planet.

To be able to preserve the sense of the original game, Blizzard are taking a similar approach with WoW Classic. The game launched in about the same condition as vanilla WoW has been after its release, and they'll be rolling out additional content in various stages, after more or less the same sequence as the first so as to preserve the intended progression.

This represents a break from tradition for Blizzard, who at the retail sport have always unlocked fresh raids at several times for North America, Europe, and Asia. It has long been a point of contention for people who participate in or follow the race for the first completion at a new raid buy Burning Crusade Classic Gold, but for Blackwing Lair it seems everyone will start on a level footing. Whether Blizzard may look at making the exact same shift for retail in the future remains to be seen.
