Overview
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft, the Worldsoul Saga is an epic storyline envisioned as a culmination of the first two decades of World of Warcraft storytelling and as a way to set stage for the next 20 years of adventure. Revolving around the fate of Azeroth's world-soul, the true long-term intentions of the Pantheon of Order, a potential final, apocalyptic confrontation between the Light and the Void, and many other story hooks, the Worldsoul Saga is (in the words of Executive Creative Director Chris Metzen) "so epic it cannot be contained within any single expansion" and is instead built to play out over multiple expansions. With this grand scale in mind, Team 2 are working on multiple ways to deliver this narrative to players "a little faster" than previous expansions.[3]

Midnight (TBD)

In World of Warcraft: The Last Titan, the third and final chapter of the Worldsoul Saga, players will once again return to the old world, this time the continent of Northrend, where they will witness the Pantheon's return to Azeroth and uncover an ancient conspiracy that stretches through the history of the world.[3]
