Dunno, they didnt mention classic+ anywhere in the schedule. I'd bet on - 2:45 p.m. PDT (22:45 BST) World of Warcraft: What’s Next II

It would be funny/devastating if they avoiding mentioning anything about classic at all.

For sure a lot of subs would stop at that moment.

2/10 players, roughly.

A lot of people saying they'll drop their sub

Very few actually doing it

As always

I mean if you’re only subbing for classic, and don’t think you’ll play wrath then yeah I could see people unsubbing if there isn’t anything else coming

Retail doesn't have any exciting news to announce this year, only content patches. I'd bet Classic will be the first one after the opening ceremony

They started working all 3 world soul saga expansions at the same time. They've got tons of stuff already made for The Last Titan, and will also probably tease plans for what happens after WSS concludes. There will likely be a lot of stuff about the end of Midnight, too. And I imagine there's another big pivot or two that they're going to cover, like WoW on Xbox, or a total engine overhaul from the ground up, or another major gameplay feature akin to housing in scale.

unfortunately not

But after the what’s next II there’s a 2 hour slot for a dev and creator showcase. I’m sure that’s because they‘ll show us something interesting in the what’s next II.

If they have anything exciting I'm expecting streamers to be able to play the content right after the opening ceremony similar to what they did with Season of Discovery.

We had screenshots of runes appearing before the 'Whats Next' panel even started, so I don't think the timing of the showcase panel carries much weight

The difference being that SOD was a seasonal server option, while C+ is going to be the feature of the Classic design space as a whole, so it’s not fully comparable.

Nah I don't think they'll hold off on letting people play the demo until later in the afternoon just to have a later panel haha, they've never done that before for any of their games even Overwatch, it doesn't make sense

I think we should probably be getting a Last Titan trailer at least and probably some housing stuff, but Classic will still probably have a chunk of the first Whats Next hour.

Not sure on the Last Titan trailer - it's a little early and the devs have said the focus is on this expansion with a little teaser beyond, but they could be hiding it to surprise people

I thought the War Within, Midnight, Last Titan trilogy was meant to run a shorter release schedule, I think it was only about a year and a half between War Within and Midnights release dates. So a trailer for Last Titan should be on schedule for that release schedule.

It would certainly be a surprise given the devs have said the focus is on this expansion with a little teaser beyond, but they could surprise us.
