WoW revisits old zones for Midnight and The Last Titan

World of Warcraft: Midnight is reimagining zones from The Burning Crusade, which (sorry) came out in 2007 (so sorry) which was almost 20 whole years ago (I really am sorry). But that's not where Blizzard's stopping. It's tackling Northrend for the expansion afterwards, The Last Titan—and one of the questlines in Midnight will be called Arator's Journey, taking you through a gauntlet of old world zones.

It's a large change in tactic, given most every World of Warcraft expansion up until this point has featured a hefty emphasis on the new. The actual world of Azeroth has expanded with both new land masses and new dimensions. There are two Draenors—two! Okay, technically it's the same one with some alternate universe shenanigans, but you get my point.

"We've got this whole huge world with decades of world building inside of it, and to have places like Light's Hope Chapel that we can't go back to, or Wyrmrest Temple, or Orgrimmar or Stormwind—all these places that have such strong memories for us.

wow, midnight, last titan, burning crusade, northrend, arator's journey, azeroth, draenor, wyrmrest temple, orgrimmar
