In the slew of interviews surrounding the launch of Cataclysm, Blizzard developers have revealed a few details about their plans for the future of World of Warcraft. Instead of revamping old areas as Cataclysm has done, it looks as though the next expansion will concentrate on adding new zones to the game. Blizzard are also toying with the idea of releasing smaller expansions more often.
Speaking to Eurogamer , Street said that the concept for the next expansion is "pretty close to locked in", but added that Blizzard were also considering releasing smaller expansions more often, saying "we can't generate content fast enough for a lot of our players... If we delivered on expansions more often, I think players would love that. It always comes down to the quality level, we're not willing to cut too many features or sacrifice quality to be able to come out quickly,"
"The risk is that we try to come out with a leaner expansion more often and we end up cutting features or making it shorter and then still taking two years. That would be... we can't do that."
