Yesterday, Blizzard finally revealed the next expansion for World of Warcraft. Called Mists of Pandaria, the expansion brings new features, a new continent, a new race, a new

class and much much more. MMORPG.com Managing Editor Bill Murphy has a brief write up of the announcement along with some new screens. Check it out and then let us know what

you’re thinking in the comments.

The amount of information shared at BlizzCon about the new World of Warcraft expansion was daunting. There are a ton of new elements coming into the game and loads of new

features. Pandaria brings the Horde and Alliance to the hidden continent and brings the Panderans into play as the new playable race. It also introduces the Monk class to the

game. The Kung Fu Panda jokes aside, Pandaria looks amazing and the Monk run through impressed us with its smooth approach and new punch and kick style combat. Players should

get ready to play to level 90. Overall, the WoW team continues to work hard on filling out the full scope of Azeroth. The only question that remains is whether or not will it be

too much?

Blizzcon 2011 has kicked off in a big way with the announcement of the new World of Warcraft expansion. Here’s what we know:

•Name: Mists of Pandaria
•Race: New playable Pandaren race
•Class: Monk
•Pet battle system

It sounds like more faction battle will be included in the new expansion. The WoW panel will kick off soon and we’ll keep you posted as information becomes available.
