World of Warcraft’s Next Expansion Will Be ‘Mists of Pandaria’

Oh boy, Pandas for all!

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

Blizzard has just revealed some details for their next big World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria, at Blizzcon. This new expansion pack will take place in the continent of Pandaria and raise the current level cap to 90. The new playable race, the Pandarians (a long-running Blizzard April’s Fool joke), will be playable by both the Horde and Alliance which is a series first (there are no cross-faction races currently). Also included in this expansion will be a new pet battle system and a new talent system.

Unfortunately, there is no release date for Mists of Pandaria as of this time.
