The opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2011 ended with a preview video for the rumoured Mists of Pandaria expansion.

A new class. A new race. A new world. The furry race in the world of WarCraft is what the new expansion will be all about.

Along with the Pandaren comes the new Monk class, an increased level cap to 90 and a whole new pet battle system.

Chris Metzen, Senior VP and co-founder, confirmed that the Pandaren will be playable by both factions.
