World of Warcraft devs explain how Legion takes us to Battle for Azeroth

The World of Warcraft is going back to its roots: war. Blizzard Entertainment announced earlier this month at BlizzCon that its next expansion, Battle for Azeroth, is coming out in 2018.

The massively multiplayer online role-playing game’s seventh expansion focuses on the war between its two player factions: the Alliance and the Horde. But it’s also adding new features, like unlockable Allied Races and a new cooperative (and slightly pirate-y) experience with Island Expeditions.
