Though Pandara was September and Draenor & Lich King were both November. I have no problem with them shooting for August, and pushing it a month if it helps them get Shadowlands right.Kommentar von Lionhearte0Blizzard in early 2019: We have no major releases planned this year

8.3 just came out in January. There's 4-5 months of beta every single time. It was always second half no matter what. Alpha I assume will start soon, then beta probably in April.Kommentar von DakushisaiBlizzard in early 2019: We have no major releases planned this year
