The World of Warcraft team is planning the game's future years in advance, at least up until 17.0.
In an interview with the WoWCast podcast about the MMO's The War Within expansion coming later this month, franchise creative director Chris Metzen explained that "it's one of the most nuclear creative phases I've ever seen" behind the curtain at Blizzard. The MMO team isn't just preoccupied with this month's expansion - The War Within kickstarts the Worldsoul Saga, the long-running game's first stab at one, interconnected trilogy.
