It's no exaggeration to say that World of Warcraft is one of the most successful and influential video games of all-time.

Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG has been going strong since 2004 and is still one of the most popular games out there.

WoW's lifetime is so extensive that the original Xbox, PS2 and GameCube were the home consoles of choice when it released over a decade and a half ago.

After a slight delay, WoW's eighth expansion pack will go live later this month. We've got everything you need to know right here!

The next chapter

WoW: Shadowlands launches later this month but was originally meant to be released last month.

27th October was its originally slated release date, but a four-week delay has pushed Shadowlands back to this month.
