World of Warcraft fans are finally set to get a host of new details about the MMORPG title’s eighth expansion Shadowlands in a huge reveal event next month ⁠— here’s how to watch Blizzard’s June 9 livestream.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting any scrap of news about World of Warcraft’s long-awaited eighth expansion since it was first announced at BlizzCon last year. For the most part, new information has been few and far between since then.

There has been a few scraps of news. The Shadowlands release date has tentatively been penciled in for Q4 this year, chunks of the plot have been teased in a story trailer, and Ion Hazzikostas revealed a few dungeon details last month too.
