Data miner Marlamin said on Twitter that Blizzard uploaded a mysterious World of Warcraft encrypted terminal to the server, which may be a new version of World of Warcraft.
This may be an encrypted terminal called wowdev3, which has not been officially established. According to Marlamin, “wowdev” is rarely used in the retail version of the game (currently on the “Shadowlands” expansion), and “wowdev2” is Used in classic nostalgic editions.
Although Blizzard has stated that it will develop a mobile game with “World of Warcraft” as the background, it should be noted that the specific naming of the terminal means that this is a new version of “World of Warcraft”, not a “World of Warcraft”. new game.
Blizzard shipped a new (likely encrypted) WoW product/endpoint called wowdev3 about an hour ago. No build on it yet. For comparison, wowdev is sparingly used for mainline (e.g. 9.x) while wowdev2 was used for TBC Classic. Could be used for 3.4 (WotLK Classic), 10.0 or neither.

Marlamin also added that it doesn’t share the CDN folder like “wowdev” and “wowdev2”, but uses a new folder, which could also be a separate encryption key instead of “wowdev”/” wowdev2″.
Some users speculated that this may be to prepare for the classic nostalgic service of “Wrath of the Lich King”. Considering that BlizzCon 2022’s online event has been canceled, Blizzard’s best chance to announce the next World of Warcraft “big event” may come later, perhaps even as a separate occasion. But until then, no one knew what that meant.
