World of Warcraft's Worldsoul Saga is gonna be a big'un—in case phrases like "Midnight", "The Last Titan", or, indeed, "Worldsoul" were any indication, this trio of expansion packs are focusing on some pretty intense story beats. The void wielded by Xal'atath, harbinger of the old gods; the Sunwell, a font of incredible power, under threat. It's all very endgame.
Spectacle creep has been something WoW's struggled with for some time, so much so that Dragonflight was a much-needed reset button. For example, the expansion preceding it, Shadowlands, saw you going to the actual afterlife—and it mostly lost people when a big guy in armour said "pitiful mortal" several dozen times.
