This afternoon, Blizzard announced that Shadowlands is being delayed "to later this year" with an emphasis on the extra time going toward improving the endgame experience. "Over the past several months of testing, we've made significant progress iterating on and polishing the core feature and gameplay of Shadowlands," says WoW Executive Producer John Hight [URL='https://twitter.com/Warcraft/status/1311766412571049990']in a statement released today.[/URL] Those elements are all "essentially ready to share" says Hight, but the hours and hours of stuff after the main Shadowlands arc are in particular need of some extra love. "Shadowlands is one of the most intricate expansions we've yet created, and while we've made great progress, the challenge of tuning the endgame was compounded by the team having to work from home," Hight explains.
