I et interview med CVG har Blizzard bekræftet, at den femte udvidelse - altså den, der kommer efter Mists of Pandaria - allerede er planlagt og under udvikling i Irvine, Californien.
Paul Sams fra Blizzard fortæller også, at den langsigtede plan for spillet er færdig, og at Chris Metzen og felre andre netop nu sidder og planer Azeroths fremtid.
"I think the future of World Of Warcraft continues to be bright and I think Mists of Pandaria is going to breathe huge life into what I believe is the best MMO out there. I think the number of people we have playing and the level of enthusiasm they have for the game suggests that to be the case."
