New WoW Shadowlands Expansion Trailer Released At BlizzCon 2019

During BlizzCon 2019, a new trailer for the next expansion for World of Warcraft, Shadowlands, was released. The trailer focuses on Sylvanas as she takes on Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, the Lich King. You can watch the trailer below.

In the trailer, Sylvanas journies to the Ice Crown Citadel and approaches the Frozen Throne, where Bolvar sits. As she approaches him, Bolvar’s orange flames begin to glow with an icy blue and he rises to meet Sylvanas’ challenge. The fight is pretty epic, but also fairly one-sided. As strong as Bolvar is, Sylvanas is just stronger. She ultimately takes him down, removes his crown, and chooses to destroy it. The act rips the sky open, raining hellfire on the ice-covered landscape. “This world is a prison,” Sylvanas says with a grimace. “And I will set us all free.”

In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, death is coming for you so you have to journey to the place where no living soul has ever gone before: the Shadowlands–basically the afterlife of the Warcraft universe. On your journey, you’ll encounter the Fallen, those who have died in the story up to this point, and learn what ultimately became of them.

In the Shadowlands, spirits go through a cycle of death and rebirth creating a new type of environment for WoW. In the new expansion, you’ll journey to new zones like Revendreth, Ardenweald, Maldraxxus, and Bastion where you’ll choose a covenant and engage in brand-new dungeons and raids. “Shadowlands is an expansion built around the agency of choice,” game director Ion Hazzikostas said.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is scheduled to release date in 2020.
