Could there have been more for Shadowlands? The fact that the expansion Shadowlands remains under the hype of Classic on Twitch is not a complete surprise. After all, there were many discussions before Classic about whether such a version would even be meaningful and whether players would enjoy it. This attracted fans from both Retail and Classic.
In contrast, Shadowlands is just one of several expansions and is not relevant for some Classic fans. Additionally, the postponement of Shadowlands meant that players who had taken time off for the release had to work due to the new date.
Perhaps Shadowlands could have garnered even more attention on Twitch.

On November 24, the new WoW expansion Shadowlands was released. This generated significant attention and a noticeable boost on the streaming platform Twitch. However, the hype did not reach the level of the release of WoW Classic from the previous year.
How did the release go? At midnight, the adventure of Shadowlands began for many. And although the servers were somewhat crowded, there were few technical issues. Cortyn from MeinMMO had a lot of fun during the launch.
Shadowlands also garnered a lot of attention on Twitch. At 12:10 AM, the “World of Warcraft” category reached its peak for the year on the platform.
According to TwitchTracker, 947,731 people were watching simultaneously. That’s a strong figure.
Even now, on November 25 at 6:30 PM, things are going really well for WoW. Over 290,000 people are watching simultaneously. This makes WoW the largest gaming category at the moment, with only Just Chatting being larger. Moreover, the number of 290,000 viewers for WoW was last reached in September 2019.
Was it the strongest value in Twitch history? No. Although the release of Shadowlands attracted nearly 1 million viewers at once, Classic in August 2019 was slightly better.
At that time, the peak was 1.14 million viewers. However, Shadowlands is significantly stronger than the previous expansion Battle for Azeroth (605,000).
The release of Classic also made the streamer Asmongold the number 1 on the platform overnight. He also benefited from Shadowlands but did not reach the numbers from that time.
Asmongold wanted to be the first player to reach level 60 but failed
How did the release go for Asmongold? With his release stream, Asmongold peaked at 195,414 viewers. That’s about 90,000 less than Classic.
Moreover, Asmongold missed his actual goal for the stream. He wanted to be the first player to reach level 60. However, the player Monkeylool managed to do it much earlier. He only needed about 3 hours for that.
Asmongold did reach level 60 within his release stream but took almost 6 hours.
