World of Warcraft: Blizzard reviews 2025
The end of the year is often a time for reflections. Blizzard Entertainment has prepared theirs in the form of a digital Yearbook. Among these, we find several data related to World of Warcraft. Number of bosses faced in the modern version, number of deaths in Extreme mode in the classic version... It's time to review the statistics of this year 2025. As a bonus, the publisher reminds us that the famous Midnight expansion, which promises a real revolution, will be deployed at the beginning of next year.
Stats that are still as impressive
World of Warcraft is more than a video game. It's a phenomenon that brings together a large community. Players are still present despite the years, enjoying regular new features to keep the game alive. 2025 is coming to an end. It's time for the traditional review showing how much the title is still followed. Blizzard has just released the figures, recorded precisely on November 21, 2025, and you can widen your eyes when reading them. Judge for yourself!
In the modern version of WoW, players have faced over 1.2 billion bosses. As the publisher specifies, this is equivalent to over 2,000 years spent fighting bosses by allowing only 60 seconds per battle. Speaking of bosses, do you know which is the deadliest ability? Don't rack your brains, Blizzard has the answer. It's Dimensius - Oblivion. Another interesting piece of data concerning the modern version is that the Grand Expedition Yak is the most summoned mount.
On the side of the classic version of WoW, the publisher provides two major statistics. The first is the number of deaths that occurred in Extreme mode. This mode lives up to its name since Blizzard counted nearly 2 million. Needless to say, the challenge was significant and many succumbed. The second is the number of sha eliminated. Do you have an idea? We'll give you a hint: if you take all the pandas in the real world and give them the mission to eliminate the shas, then each should eliminate 42,000. Did you find it? No? No worries, we'll give you the answer: over 115 million sha were eliminated this year in Pandaria.
And the adventure is far from over. 2026 will be a pivotal year for the franchise. Indeed, from March 2, 2026, Blizzard will deploy Midnight, an expansion that will add the Logis, a novelty that will revolutionize the formula. The system will offer spaces of peace where all factions can coexist, without an ounce of confrontation. It will be possible to discover several biomes, build your own home, and customize it. It will also be an opportunity to discover the next chapter of the Soul-world saga, welcome the Haranir, or even slip into the shoes of a Devourer demon hunter. Of course, a good adventure is nothing without a good villain, a threat to face. In this regard, we can count on the presence of Xal'atath.
