The war campaign of WoW ends in patch 8.2.5

The war campaign of WoW ends in patch 8.2.5 – What comes next?

The story of WoW: Battle for Azeroth is likely coming to an end with Patch 8.2.5. But what happens next when the war campaign is completed?

Currently, the next Patch 8.2.5 is being tested on the PTR of World of Warcraft. Although it is only a “minor” patch, there seem to be some contents that will drastically advance the story. Recently, two cinematics were discovered that together last over 8 minutes. It has now also been revealed: Patch 8.2.5 concludes the war campaign!

Where does the info come from? The “splash screen” for the adventure guide is already available on the PTR of Patch 8.2.5. It always indicates what new contents are available and what players should tackle next. Here it is already explained that the war campaign is “coming to an end.” This makes it clear that the story surrounding the war between the Alliance and the Horde will now reach its climax and lead into a new narrative.

What comes after the war campaign? How exactly it continues after the war campaign is still unclear. However, the theory and the alleged leak might still hold true, that we will all die in Patch 8.3 and Sylvanas attacks the city of Stormwind. That would technically not be part of the war campaign anymore, but rather the consequences of the campaign. It could then seamlessly lead into the “Shadowlands” expansion, which has also allegedly been leaked.

Concrete info only at BlizzCon? According to Blizzard’s current schedule, it could very well be that we will see Patch 8.3 only at BlizzCon 2019 in November. Then Blizzard could not only present the big Patch 8.3 but also the upcoming expansion. Additionally, this could capture the possible hype that the two cinematics might have created.

In a few weeks, we will definitely know more.

How do you think it will continue in WoW with Patch 8.3? Do you believe in the Shadowlands leak? Or does Blizzard have something else up its sleeve?
