Speaking to VG247, Wrath of the Lich King lead designer Tom Chilton indicated that this most recent expansion will not be the last for World of Warcraft. At least rudimentary plans are in place for more expansions and more landmasses to be added to the world. The continent of Northrend, home to the titular Lich King Arthus, is being fully fleshed out in the new expansion.

"We actually already have ideas on how we're going to expand on that in the future," said Chilton to VG247. "Certainly, [a lot of] the major landmasses that we talked about heavily in previous WarCraft game have already come to fruition, although there are still areas of the game that we've talked about and set up story-wise that we haven't revealed yet. So there's definitely more to go."
