While Blizzard Entertainment originally planned to release World of Warcraft: Shadowlands just in time for Halloween to complement players treading the realm of those who passed, the developer faced uncertain difficulties resulting with a delay for the latest expansion for the ongoing MMO. Of course, with an ongoing pandemic in effect, working on a big budget addition to a game the scale of World of Warcraft would be a bigger plate to finish – even for Blizzard Entertainment.

At the time of the delay, the game was told to be delay indefinitely with no certain timeframe or release window provided for the game aside from 2020. Atop of that, it was uncertain when exactly the expansion would even ship as many continued to wait for the pre-patch for Shadowlands leading into November this month.

But now in a new announcement this week, Blizzard Entertainment released a couple of new trailers alongside a countdown for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands set to arrive for this coming Monday. You can watch the launch cinematic trailer for Shadowlands in the video below:

“With a single act of destruction, Sylvanas Windrunner has ripped open the way to the afterlife,” the synopsis reads for the expansion’s webpage. “Azeroth’s staunchest defenders have been dragged into all-consuming darkness. An ancient force of death threatens to break its bonds and unravel reality. Hidden realms of wonder and horror await any who would pass to the other side.

“The Shadowlands is home to an entire realm of the departed; it is a world between worlds whose delicate balance preserves life and death itself. As one of Azeroth’s greatest champions, you have been granted the power to cross over in body and soul. Now you must investigate a conspiracy to unmake the cosmos, and help Warcraft legends journey back… or fulfill their ultimate destiny.”

In recent news regarding Blizzard Entertainment, the firm announced to be organizing Blizzcon Online which will be held in mid February next year. You can read the full report for the virtual event by heading here.
