So, at Gamescom today Shadowlands was confirmed to be releasing on the 27th of October. Based on my previous prediction<\/a> that ended up being confirmed today, I’m assuming the prepatch will be either September 15th or September 22nd. Nice to see we are finally moving forward with the game, however, given how limited beta access<\/a> has been, I still worry that it will be truly ready. After the break I’m including Blizzards full post about the release schedule (which has a special date for North American servers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

From Blizzards Site:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Azeroth\u2019s shattered sky, a realm of infinite afterlives awaits: the\u00a0Shadowlands<\/em><\/strong>, where mortal souls go to reckon with their pasts, discover new purpose .\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0or suffer an eternity of torment. Seize your destiny beginning October 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon entering the Shadowlands, Azeroth\u2019s champions will encounter an otherworld in disarray. Virtuous souls are being wrongfully cast into the eternal darkness of the Maw, while the Covenants\u2014powerful factions who hold dominion over the afterlife\u2019s disparate realms\u2014face ruin and strife as the flow of the Shadowlands\u2019 essential anima mysteriously dwindles. As an ancient, long-bound evil gathers the strength to break its chains, players must carve their path through the uncharted reaches of the beyond, forge a pact with the Covenant that most aligns with their own principles and purpose\u2014and ultimately restore balance to the hereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
