It was recently confirmed by a Blizzard representative that an expansion to the popular MMO, World of Warcraft is currently in production.

Shane Dabiri, lead producer of WoW made the statement in a WoW forum on June 21. "Some have asked about an expansion and what it might hold," said Dabiri. "I wanted to let players know that it is in the works, and well release details as soon as we can."

In addition to the expansion, Dabiri mentioned some of the updates planned for the near future including "Blackwing Lair, a 40-person raid dungeon, where you will be able to battle against the epic dragon Nefarian and his minions. We are also working on a 20-person dungeon called ZulGurub, and the mysterious lands of AhnQiraj in Silithus. Outside of dungeons, we want to continue adding new world events, such as a carnival that will take place in Mulgore and Elwynn forest."

Since the North American launch of WoW, it has received over 2 million subscribers, 48 realms for U.S. players and over 450 worldwide. WoW is constantly in the process to add and improve with new content.
