Blizzard only recently began Phase 4 ofWorld of Warcraft ClassicSeason of Discovery. As the first endgame update for the experimental servers, Phase 4 of Season of Discovery added the first completely original content toWoW ClassicSeason of Discovery in the form of The Molten Core bosswithin the eponymous raid and the Demon Fall Canyon dungeon.
However,WoW Classicis already talking about what’s next for Season of Discovery. During a recent interview withWoW Classiccontent creator Ebonhardt, senior game producer Josh “Aggrend” Greenfield and assistant lead classic designer Tim Jones teased a number of new things for Season of Discovery’s future.WoW ClassicSeason of Discovery has officially gotten direct support from the main art team to make The Molten Core boss, opening doors for creating original content for the Realms. This includes the most ominous and exciting thing they mentioned: a “larger than life” encounter that ties into something players are doing now, and that it will build towards during the next phase.
What’s Next for WoW Classic Season of Discovery?
There is no saying what this “larger than life” encounter may be quite yet. It could involve the Shadowy Figure – a mysterious benefactor who has appeared multiple times in Season of Discovery, and whomany fans suspect is Xal’atath fromWoW: The War Within. Alternatively, the devs hinted that the BlizzCon announcement for Season of Discovery might hold clues for future phases. The panel had a screenshot of the crypts of Kharazan, meaning players could see a boss fight against Medivh, the Last Guardian.
Regardless, the developers confirmed they plan to keep Season of Discovery going long after its final update, and it won’t be moving characters to normalClassicEra servers once it is over. Fans can safely expect to see some awesome things in Season of Discovery’s future – andonce theWorld of Warcraftexperiment is over, they will be able to keep playing their characters without losing all of their cool items and abilities.
