Blizzard se i dalje drži svog stava da neće biti nove rase u novom nastavku Wrath of the Lich King, jer kako kažu oni su i dalje mnogo fokusirani na novu Hero klasu, Death Knight.
Ovo i nisu tako loše vesti, jer svaka klasa će moći da ima pristup novoj hero klasi, a što je najinteresnatnije nećete morati da ga level-ujete od početka jer Death Knight startuje sa level-om 50+.

Bornakk je objasnio na Wrath forumu zašto je Blizzard krenuo ovakvim putem Wrath of the Lich King-a:

We are not "against" new races so to speak, but we don't want to force new ones into the game just for the sake of having them either.

In The Burning Crusade we launched 2 new races, we put a lot of development time into making them fit into the game along with the 2 starting zones that each of them now have.

In Wrath of the Lich King we are focusing on the first ever Hero Class, the Deathknight. While you may think a lot of people aren't excited over it, I think a lot of people really are. Right now there really isn't a lot of information to share beyond what was shown at BlizzCon four months ago. We are working really hard on developing it and when we are happy with the results more details will be shared and I'd bet the talks and excitement will flare up for it.

So why no new races? There are a lot of things that are fun ideas, but we did do this recently and we want to focus on other bigger and better things for out players to experience.

Will we never add new races then? Never is a bad word to use, there is always the possibility of this happening in the future, we just don't plan to do it for Wrath of the Lich King. :)
