The big reveal for WoW's next expansion is set for April 19, 2022. Development for the same has already begun, and the developers hope the players are currently enjoying Eternity’s End. There have been new hints as to the actual content of the expansion, so players won’t have to wait too much longer for concrete information.

One hint that surfaced was in a blog post for the Warcraft website. This revealed that there would be news about a Warcraft game for mobile in May, designed from the ground up specifically for the platform.

“Beyond World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, we’re preparing to get the first game in the Warcraft Universe designed for mobile in your hands.”

Based on the wording "Warcraft Universe," players are assuming that this is not exactly WoW mobile. Fans will have to wait for the official announcement for more information.
