Upcoming Hearthstone Content Announcement at PAX East
Blizzard has yet to announce this through official channels, but the PAX East schedule has gone up and Blizzard has their own panel at 10:30 AM on March 6th. The description for the Blizzard panel states that Eric Dodds will be making an announcement about upcoming content for Hearthstone! There will also be announcements of upcoming Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch stuff!
Last PAX East, Naxxramas was announced, could it be another adventure? Check out the full PAX East Schedule here.
Mimiron wasn't the first boss in his wing. Even though you could pretty much pick if you went freya/hodir/thorim/mimiron first (and auriaya, I suppose), most people did Mimiron last as he was generally considered to be the hardest of the bosses I mentioned.
I think it's going to be a tough fit to release Ulduar as an adventure right now. If they did pick Ulduar, it would probably include some more mech cards, some twilight guys and perhaps some iron dwarves thrown in for good measure. Some of the big players like Flame Leviathan and Mimiron are already in the game. I don't feel like that's a good angle to get players interested in their new adventure mode right now. From a marketing point of view, they'll probably want a new hook to get players interested. Naxx had deathrattle, GvG had mech, and their new adventure will probably include some form of signature aswell.
That's a lot of "probably", but it's my best guess that Ulduar won't be the next adventure / pve content. I'm not quite sure what they WOULD have planned, but a lot of people are saying karazhan, and that seems to be a good candidate. Big instance, lots of bosses, lots of variation, a good pool to pick cards from.
At this point, it's still anybody's guess, but I'm looking forward to the reveal at PAX East that's for sure.
And now we wait...
All aboard the hype train!

Hopefully we'll see scarlet monastery as an adventure, as they've said that they aren't working on another class recently and they've also said that they like to do expansion and then adventure to then start over the cycle again.
Maybe the dungeon collection from WoWTCG? Scarlet Monastery, Shadowfang Keep and the Deadmines.
Hasn't Blizzard Registered "The Eye of Azeroth" trademark recently?
I think it was ''Eye of Azshara''.
"Eye of Azshara" is probably next WoW xpack.
OMGEEEE MORE DECK SLOTS!!! :D
They have alredy stated they would like to flesh out other arch types, so don't expect many mechs - do expect murlocs, pirates, dragons oh my !
southsea isles adventure!?
Am i the only one hoping for some Tempest keep action? The eye was way fun back in the day.
As many mentioned before Ulduar would be a natural follow up to GvG adding some mechs and titan related stuff for much win.
I created a poll on this subject last year, and although not a huge amount responded, Karazhan was by far the favourite, followed by Ulduar.

I think a Karazhan adventure would be amazing. It has some of the most iconic voice acting (Shade of Aran, Opera, Prince etc) and memorable encounters in any raid I have experienced from Vanilla -> Cataclysm. The only negative I can see towards a Kara adventure is the lack of mechs, although there are a lot of other types (Beasts, Demons, Dragons etc) in the mix. This is why I think the next adventure will more likely be Ulduar (mech-city).
As some one who isn't very familiar with the WoW universe, what's Karazhan? I know Ulduar cause of the cool mechs you fight.
Karazhan is an old haunted tower that used to be home to Medivh, a powerful, but corrupted mage. Early on you fight undead, demons, and take part in a theatrical boss fight performance based on either the Wizard of Oz, Romeo and Juliette, or Little Red Riding Hood. The tower has a lot of baroque themes like ball rooms, grandiose dining rooms and the well known opera. Then as you go up the tower you start facing the true evil that lies there, in the form of demons, corrupted dragons and Burning Legion servants. The setting switches from haunted medieval castle to gigantic library filled with Ethereals, Mana Wyrms, and cultists.
Edit: not sure why you pretended to not know about Karazhan...did you just want people to describe it to you for nostalgia's sake?
Basically a spooky abandoned castle with evil stuff goin' on. A great candidate for an expansion/adventure, but I think they'd probably wait a little bit so that they don't have another "scary" adventure following Naxx. For the same reason, I think they'll hold off a bit on Ulduar so that they don't have two mech-themed releases in a row...much better to have Ulduar in a year and have the "BIG COMEBACK!" of mech decks. I think an Emerald Dream expansion could be fun, maybe fleshing out the dragon archtype a bit?
Gosh, your description makes me remember just how much I loved that raid. That and Ulduar are probably two of my favorites. They both felt like places instead of just something that was designed to hold bosses that needed to be killed.
Nice. They're my two favorite raids. Would love to see them in HS.
Karazhan was far from scary. It was more - poetic. The theme is very suitable to HS.
But so is Ahn'quiraj with all the whispers and stuff... man I loved that raid.
