I wonder what will make it next-gen, should be exciting. I can't imagine that they'd announce it so soon, there's so much going on as it is. Who knows, maybe they'll just blow our minds and announce it anyway. Something entirely new, eh? I wonder what will make it next-gen, should be exciting.

Whatever it is, it's a brand-new franchise. They might announce the title and nature of what they're wokring on at Blizzcon, but I think that if they do, they'll make it clear that it's on the back-burner to WotLK, SC2 and D3.

That being said the Emerald Dream would be a great start for this. With the lore and visuals possible for ED would really be the ideal time to roll out the new platform and game engines. Also looking back to TBC (being a druid my self with epic flight form) the devs are giving more and more tastes of the ED through quest lines and even raids (Nordrassil in Hyjal) . Then again I could only be biased but the 2 seems to be very likely possibilities. i have been seeing alot about blizzard wanting to start working on the graphics engines, and other mechanics to brin WoW up to speed with the quality and technology of other games currently coming out and make the platform able to sustain another 5 years of gaming.

I thought that the next Xpac would be unlikely, but they did say they had planned to release one Xpac a year, the timing would be on target for a Nov. release each year since they did announce LK last Blizzcon. Though I have to agree that the big cinematic does lend itself to the lead of WC4. Which would be great as well! I'm always up for more expanding lore. WC3 had NE and Scourge factions though...now that the forsaken have joined up with the Horde and the NE with the Alliance any thoughts on what other playable factions their might be??

They've already got Wrath of the Lich King, Diablo 3 AND Starcraft 2 on their plate, and even after Wrath releases, it won't be finished - they still will have to add things like Icecrown Citadel and keep making tweaks to it. TBC at release and TBC now are completely different because they kept working on it - I guarantee you they won't be finished with Wrath at release. They won't be announcing anything about their new MMO until they've pretty much milked all the money they could out of WoW, and it still has a LOT of juice left in it.
