Comment by LoneStar2911Sweet!Comment by VindalNice, I hope they reveal more about the systems that have not yet been on alpha like legendaries and conduits, but also a bit more about the content release of the expansion, the way the story will unfold (without too much details though).Comment by NoxxieTVXpac Release date & Pre-patch Date?Comment by Luck4Beta/Release date inc.Comment by Taomacan't wait for news! Hopefully if they need more time to make a good expansion they will not rush it. I prefer waiting than getting another garbage expakComment by Vampyr78I wonder if they will give a beta date.Comment by tooiziYeah bfa was not good enough especially after legion who was Very good! And god please no more stupid daily events. Atm we grind more tue events than dungeons those who works. I believe I'm true about this. You need at least a couple of hours for everythingComment by vultrazI'd say they will announce Maldraxxus and Ardenweald? Legendaries and covenants preview will be good, too. Release date would be too early, I think, but wouldn't mind, of course :)
Love streams like these anyway, it's always great to hear the devs explaining their decisions.Comment by NulgarXpac Release date & Pre-patch Date?Comment by hotmanpopI hope they stay in alpha for the whole summer, just test the every systems before even thinking of transitioning to beta. I don't want another bfa half assed testing. Beta is just for server and optimization, this can wait.Comment by vultrazWell, pre-patch date is always kinda obvious once we know the release time, about 35-45 days before the lauch.Comment by Elazul016/9 baybee!Comment by GrothrillSo we dont have 6 weeks but less when they will push the pre-event...damn it I still need alot of mounts to farm. And removing the Influencer buff didnt make things easier.Comment by deathlavitzpeople saying release date, like please its still in alpha. Seems alpha longer than beta for azeroth was in alpha as well. Meaning they realize they gotta actually test the expansion.Comment by rossyysNecromancer confirmed.

/sComment by TrevastatedHoping for good and interesting news!Comment by masilya111Great. I was expecting it. Do we know if it's part of the IGN Summer of games event? Because Blizzard is expected to show something there. So if the Shadowlands news is not part of the event, maybe Blizzard will show another game (D4,OW2)?Comment by Bloodvalor21people saying release date, like please its still in alpha. Seems alpha longer than beta for azeroth was in alpha as well. Meaning they realize they gotta actually test the expansion.Comment by ZeroEdgeirEveryone looking for release date: It was confirmed in a quarterly financial report call that Shadowlands is a Q4 release. So, Oct-Dec window. We already know that. Narrowing it down to a given day/month doesn't change much. The fact that Blizzcon is also off this year means they do not have that in the way of development (it takes a lot of their staff and time to run Blizzcon, as they've said before), as it would have been right in the middle of said release window.

Will we get more accurate release info? Maybe. I am not personally counting on it, because I am much more of a "done when it's done" kind of gamer. I prefer a delayed release with a better player experience overall to "get it out when the bean-counters want it out", as it almost always winds up feeling like a worse experience.

Expanded Alpha/Beta access would be nice though.Comment by FeilaaniOMFG I knew they would not launch this xpac without a new class, new class reveal, the official reason blizz devs game for shadowlands not having a new class was "We learn about the next class during shadowlands, would not make sense to add the new class at the beginning of the xpac, most likely the next class will be the xpac after shadowland instead of a later patch of shadowlands"
