For possible future races for these expansions, see Future race ideas.

It was rumored that there would be 5-6 expansions to the world of Azeroth, mentioned in an interview by a leading person within Blizzard ("We have made concepts for this expansion, and we already have enough ideas for 5-6 more").[citation needed]

Below are ideas by users where future World of Warcraft expansions could possibly visit after World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, the latest announced official expansion. The following are undeveloped regions that have enough content for an expansion pack. These ideas are grouped geographically:

General expansion ideas

The Emerald Dream

  • Related areas: Emerald Dream, Emerald Paradise, Emerald Nightmare, lesser, unfinished Emerald Dreams.
  • Possible new hero classes: dragonsworn, spirit walker, Demon Hunter.
  • Related intelligent/playable races: Children of Cenarius, sprite, furbolg, treant, dryad and satyr.
  • Related opposing forces: The Nightmare, Druids of the Nightmare, and the Old God behind it.
  • Nethaera says: "As for the Emerald Dream, there are no plans for anything as of yet but it is a consideration for the future. The Emerald Dream opens up a lot of different opportunities and the Burning Crusade is definitely not going to be the last of the expansion packs. There are many different places and storylines that can be pursued. The story is going to keep growing and as it does so, people will get to experience it."
  • Possible extra stuff: Spirit mounts you can use while corpse running, portals and/or shortcuts to several places in the world. Lore states that powerful druids can obtain supernatural abilities in the Dream, unknown if playable druids are powerful enough.
  • Although not officially announced, Emerald Dream is planned for release after Wrath of the Lich King.

Argus

Twisting Nether

  • Related areas: Other parts of former Draenor, because it is said that Draenor was much larger than Azeroth, so it is probable that Outland is not the only inhabited part. And maybe portals to other worlds that Illidan sealed.
  • Related opposing forces: Burning Legion, The Void, maybe some new currently unknown faction. Gul'dan's surviving death knights.
  • Related playable races: Broken, arakkoa, and ethereal.

Caverns of time into the future

  • One going to a colonial era Azeroth, where Anduin is king.
  • One into a wild west Azeroth the Alliance becomes like the United States, with most Alliance and Horde becoming western outlaws.
  • The final going into a modern Azeroth where magic does not exist anymore, the Malstrom has all but dissipated, and most of the world has turned into hostile nations.
  • Related areas going in order of mentioned destinations: Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Redridge, Stromwind (industrial), Barrens, Ogrimmar (industrial), for a modern Azeroth there would just be more cities and modernized highways.
  • New hero classes also going in order: Conquistador, Gunslinger, Cammando.

Return of Sargeras

  • Sargeras has been revived and has returned to his throne.
  • Velen has created a new city ship to land within the unexplored legion homeworld.
  • A portal has been opened to the Legion homeworld, an unexplored world of beauty and corruption.
  • The vampiric race known as the Nathrezim has invaded Azeroth, leaving nothing but destruction in their path.
  • The Alliance and Horde have discovered an ancient Gateway that has been legened to take whoever activates its ancient structure, shall be transported to the Vault of the Pantheon, which contains the very console that controls the planets...and maybe even the location of the remaining Old Gods...
