World of Warcraft: Zone Map Update Potentially Hints At Next Expansion's Villain

gamerant.com:

With over seventeen years of history, World of Warcraft is no stranger to expansion leaks. A week before Cataclysm was officially announced, the World of Warcraft community was already aware of goblins, worgen, and the forever-altered face of Azeroth. Mists of Pandaria leaked when Blizzard filed for a trademark, though not many were willing to believe it was for a World of Warcraft expansion at the time. Screenshots from Warlords of Draenor's cinematic leaked a few days ahead of schedule.

Taking this into account, it's not at all surprising that World of Warcraft fans have a very clear idea of what the next expansion might entail, even if it hasn't yet been announced by Blizzard Entertainment. According to the vast assortment of leaks and rumors that came out in the past few months, it is a common belief that the next World of Warcraft expansion is going to be set on the Dragon Isles, and a recent update to Dragonblight's mini-map only further strengthens this idea.

World of Warcraft to Announce Next Expansion Pack in April

To cut straight to the point: while the mini-map for Dragonblight has indeed been recently updated, there have been no tangible changes to the location compared to a work-in-progress version uploaded to the game's database as far back as 8.2 during Battle for Azeroth. That being said, given that the mini-map for this version of Galakrond's Rest has been regenerated, and comparing it with the previous leaks pertaining to a potential Dragon-themed expansion, there are a lot of coincidences at play.

The main differences this version of Dragonblight has over its predecessor (shown on the right) is that any Titan architecture has been scrubbed out, including the iconic Wyrmrest Temple overlooking the zone.
