As BlizzCon inches ever closer, players of World of Warcraft continue to ponder where the MMORPG’s next expansion is headed. Some of that pondering may have gotten a bit easier thanks to some new achievement datamining. Kinda by definition, there are going to be spoilers in this post!

The data dig reveals a Heroic Edition: Algarian Stormrider promotion achievement that appears to suggest at not only the location of Khaz Algar but also a mount that’s part of the expansion’s heroic bundle offerings. The same leak also has several toy box achievements that appear linked to a Warcraft Rumble cross-promotion.

This unearthed achievement name has ticked off plenty of speculation, including a more Dwarven focus in terms of theme and the potential for storm elementals to feature heavily in the expansion, such as mounts not too dissimilar to the dragons of Dragonflight.
