Blizzard rules out World of Warcraft 2, betting on Forever to evolve the classic

TL;DR Summary
Blizzard indicates there won’t be a World of Warcraft 2 on the horizon, arguing that World of Warcraft: Forever (a Classic Plus revamp) already expands the game with new zones, dungeons, raids, races, and engine improvements. A true sequel would be extremely costly and risky, and executives suggested Blizzard will continue to evolve the existing game rather than start over, while other major projects like Diablo 5 and a StarCraft shooter are planned for the future.
