Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft” regains growth, with 7.25 million active players

March 25, according to the BellularGaming report, the game “World of Warcraft” under Blizzard Entertainment has begun to recover and grow, and the number of active players is currently around 7.25 million.

Blizzard Entertainment recently attended the PAX East game show to discuss the large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) “World of Warcraft” with a 20-year history.

In the discussion, the executives of Blizzard frankly admitted that the 8th expansion pack, “World of Warcraft: Shadowlands”, did not meet the expectations of players. However, the 9th expansion pack, “World of Warcraft: Dragonflight”, has received many positive reviews from players, resulting in player growth that has not been seen in many years.

BellularGaming’s analysis estimates that the number of active players in the game “World of Warcraft” has reached 7.25 million. Usually, the number of players in “World of Warcraft” will increase dramatically around the release of an expansion pack, but during the update process after the release of the expansion pack, the number of players will gradually decrease. This is mainly due to players canceling their subscriptions to play other games after completing the main storyline tasks in the game.

However, after the release of “World of Warcraft: Dragonflight”, the number of players in “World of Warcraft” has not decreased but increased, indicating that the game “World of Warcraft: Dragonflight” has been recognized by players and attracted the return of old players.
