It hasn’t even been a month since Blizzard launched the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, and already they are talking about the next expansion. 

Blizzard’s COO Paul Sams was quoted in a recent interview with PCRetail, when asked if they have plans for the next exanpsion, to have said:

Well, we don’t have anything to share on that but the development team has a very long forward look, and they don’t know all the specifics elements of the future, but the general framework is in the heads of the production staff, designers and team members. So they do know where it is going to go, but a lot of specifics they determine along the way”. Sams continued “We have a lot of creative people on the team and they have no shortage of great ideas – it’s a matter of figuring out the right ideas for each content update or expansion that fits the story that we’re trying to tell. Every time I talk to that group the ideas just keep overflowing, so we feel there’s a lot still to do.

But just how many expansions is Blizzard going to keep pumping out until they move onto something like World of Warcraft 2? Sams went on to say that while there is a significant user base playing WoW, Blizzard will continue to support them and add new content.
