Twenty years ago, Blizzard Entertainment launched "World of Warcraft" (WoW) and revolutionized the gaming industry. This massive multiplayer online game has since attracted over 240 million players worldwide. Holly Longdale, WoW's executive producer, emphasizes that WoW is more than just a game; it's a lifestyle. Players engage with the game and their friends, both in-game and out. To celebrate the anniversary, Blizzard has planned virtual and in-person events, including the "Worldsoul Saga" within the game. The team aims to honor longtime players and welcome new ones, ensuring no one is left behind. Microsoft, now the parent company, is supportive but hands-off, allowing Blizzard to lead. The future might include another WoW movie, following the success of other game adaptations. Additionally, Blizzard is focusing on creating a welcoming environment for all players, including women, under the leadership of Johanna Faries.
