The Worldsoul Saga, revealed during BlizzCon 2023, marks a significant milestone in the World of Warcraft timeline, encompassing the 10th, 11th, and 12th expansions. Chris Metzen, executive creative director, has described the trilogy as "the culmination of the first 20 years of our storytelling," drawing parallels to the success and interconnected storytelling of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).


In an exclusive interview with IGN, Blizzard expounded on the decision to unfold the Worldsoul Saga across three expansions, providing insight into the ambitious narrative arc and the grand scale of storytelling the development team aspires to achieve.

This sets the stage for an exciting clash between two heavyweights in the MMO genre, adding an extra layer of anticipation and competition to the gaming landscape. As the saga unfolds, players can expect an immersive and evolving experience in the ever-expansive world of World of Warcraft.
