World of Warcraft: Shadowlands expansion launches October 27

The Gamescom opening ceremonies revealed that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is launching on October 27.

This is the MMO’s eighth expansion. It has players exploring the fantasy universe’s afterlife. World of Warcraft debuted in 2004 and became a massive hit for Blizzard. It may not be the sensation it once was, but its monthly subscription still makes it a lucrative title.
