World of Warcraft: The War Within looks to continue the MMO’s renaissance

World of Warcraft is in the midst of a renaissance. It’s last expansion, Dragonflight, was its best-received one in years. And now Blizzard is looking to continue that momentum with the next expansion, The War Within, with its release later this year.

It’s an impressive turnaround for an MMO that is turning 20 years old. World of Warcraft seemed past its prime after disappointing expansions like Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands divided players over controversial narratives and gameplay features.
