Fortunately, Battle for Azeroth pulled the community back and the sales numbers speak for themselves.
Blizzard has just announced that World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth has sold 3.4 million copies in its first day alone. Since its initial release in 2004, World of Warcraft has had three other expansions surpass the 3 million sales mark: Cataclysm (2010), Warlords of Draenor (2014), and Legion (2016). Not only was the new expansion high in sales, but Twitch also saw the game surpass Fortnite in viewership consistently after the expansion went on sale.
The World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth expansion increases the max level in the game to 120, with a new raid, Uldir, starting September 4. Other big changes include the PvP array, specifically a new mode – War. But other major changes include six new regions spanning two new continents, a new storyline about the conflict between the Human and Orc races, and Island Expeditions. The new adventures are being positively received by the community, showing that people are willing to invest their time in the huge world of WoW.
The success of the latest expansion is testament to Blizzard’s investment in World of Warcraft over the years. In October 2010, World of Warcraft’s number of subscribers peaked at around 12 million players. However, in the last few years, Blizzard has not released the number of payers, possibly because the number of players has begun to decline.
