Blizzard has announced that the fifth expansion to its acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game, World of Warcraft, will be called Warlords of Draenor and will be released this Fall.
According to the press release, this new expansion will lead players to the untamed world of Draenor, where the orc warchief Grommash Hellscream is forging his twisted Iron Horde into a world-shattering weapon of conquest.
“Faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the champions of the Horde and the Alliance must establish a base of operations on Draenor and seek out courageous allies to make a stand against Hellscream’s mighty war machine.”
Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment, said:
“We’re sending players deep into uncharted territory with Warlords of Draenor. New features like the Garrison will give players a commanding role in the Warcraft saga like never before, and everyone can get in on the action right away with the included level-90 boost. There’s never been a better time to go to war for the Horde or the Alliance.”
