After having learned about the cosmic origins of the universe and battled various gods of the afterlife in the game's latest expansion, more than a few World of Warcraft players are yearning for a return to the more grounded (relatively speaking) world of Azeroth. And based on comments from lead narrative designer Steve Danuser, that could be in the cards for the game's next expansion.

In a new interview with Game Rant about the game's recently announced patch 9.2, Danuser says there is room for both massive, cosmic stories and smaller, more personal tales in the Warcraft universe. In doing so, he also heavily implies that the next expansion will be a return to the world at the center of the Warcraft universe, Azeroth.

"Don't assume it's just going to be one thing," Danuser says. "There's storylines building up for the next great book in the Warcraft saga. Some of that groundwork is laid here, but there's a lot more back on Azeroth we need to get back to, and delve into some storylines and characters there."
