An intrepid player has potentially leaked the next expansion in the World of Warcraft franchise. Through datamining unlisted achievements, a player discovered a reference to a potential mount called the Algarian Stormrider, which could be included in the Heroic Edition of the game’s next expansion. This discovery points towards a new zone called Khaz Algar, which has been hinted at by WoW developers through notes and items in the Dragonflight dungeon Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr.
Uldaman and Khaz Algar are both tied to the lore of the titans, a race of primordial beings explored extensively in Dragonflight’s main campaign. While players initially expected a titan zone called Avaloren, the game took a different direction towards Zaralek Cavern and the Emerald Dream. However, the ongoing storyline has set up cosmic threats related to the Old Gods, making a titan-themed expansion a logical progression.
The next WoW expansion may be announced at BlizzCon later this year, potentially revealing the Algarian Stormrider as a pre-order bonus. Typically, expansion announcements occur every other year, suggesting that WoW is due for another announcement in the coming months.
