what is the pre quest for this cinematic where he kills for the jailer?

Meh. . . Needs More Garrisons To Really Ruin WoW Again.

im loving these cinematic, the art the story but.. these systems man. ~shakes head~

No thanks WoW is dated.

Going to the store: “I’d like the new Chains of Domination game please” Clerk stares-what the heck are you into person....

I've been years since I've played WoW. This looks horrible. Is that supposed to be Arthas? Why does Sylv have a Discount Frostmourne? Geez this looks so bad

Bastion needs better security 💀

"One whould give anything to serve his people" you mean my boy arthas who sacrificed his soul to try and save his people?

More likes than hates... WoW players cry whether blizz does something, or nothing..

Fucking lame. The lore is dead -.-

Chains of Retconning. So this is basically proof that Arthas after claiming Frostmourne was not at fault for any of his actions after that point, otherwise we could go ahead and say the same shit about Anduin being it's his fault the Archon is dead instead of the Jailer's.

Everyone: Anduin became Arthas 2.0! Me: Nobody's feeding Uther?

White hair and pale armor seems to be all the rage in the Shadowlands these days.

looks a lot like diablo entering the gates of heaven and smashing imperius

Imagine arthas vs evil Anduin....

honestly im loving this new content.. im back.. thanks Blizz

Jailer stopped the mind control to give anduin a glimpse of his actions i don't think it was anduin resisting. giving you're pawn the impression that he could have broken the control and making him blame himself for the deed would work well at weakening the pawn's resistance.

Kill me already, not my king T^T

"it is only a matter of time before they turn... into the Arthas" xD

Thrall will save them all, cause green jesus!

Arthas, wish version.

So apparently She the angel is the jailers sister

Please tell me they didnt just fuck up Shalamayne.

Boy she sure got anduin wrong, when did he ever “strive for justice” lol?

Oh well...only the other king can stop King Andruin now. Arthas..

Was that Varian !?

Great job destorying Warcraft. Just go back to Legion and release another expansion pretending BfA and and this Shadowlands horseshit ever happened.

It's bloody f*cking fan fiction...

They've really gone off the rails since WC3

Genn Greymane

Everyone disliked that

On no Anduin........I..... Dont care? Is this story just lame? Am I just desensitized now? Or is it because I have pretty much hated this expansion outside of the initial sloppy story leveling experience. I have felt blah about this expansion since week 2. Mostly just yelling at the screen daily now that I NEED TO FLY!!!!!!!!! WHERES MY FREEDOM!?!?!?!?

I still think we will see Arthas and he will be doing something...Good. Uther redemption?

Another arthus great.....

Well, I'm so happy I spent an entire questline keeping the Archon alive only to be killed in a pre-patch cinematic, makes it so worthwhile....

What? Arthas 2.0? No, thanks.

Ever since WoD, all they've done is rehashed stories, but worse. At least Legion was good regardless of that, but you can't say the same for WoD, BfA and now Shadowlands.

That's the dumbest shit I've ever seen...

"Quick, we are creatively bankrupt corporate shells of what we once were, we need something good! - How about a new Arthas? People loved the first one! - Good thinking! Let's hope this one won't be a discount knock-off version....."

Arthas walmart edition.

Ебучее аниме, а не Варкрафт

predictable crap

why upload this when the WoW youtube channel has it up? it's the exact same one?

It reminds me the cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid

Blizz should just go back to more grounded stories. This is insane. I want immersion and no fucking hollywood action movie

COVID 19 Anduin

We better save Anduin and bring him back to normal or the Alliance will Riot

Me: Mom can we get the Lich King? Mom: We have the Lich King at home Lich King at home:

Anduin not even bothering to look at Uther....."If you want something done, do it yourself!"

Is this Blizzard cheap storywriting ? Arthas 2.0... i mean i like Arthas, best villain, best expansion, best lore. But.. this feels cheap af lol

I just love it how she describes Anduin and in the same time we get to see Uther. Like she is describing Uther instead of him. It is really hearth touching. Hoping for Uther to gets the opportunity to redeem himself

This whole expansion is just someone’s bdsm dream

Anduin after stabbing Archon:This Bastion shall fall and from it's ashes a new order shall rise,that will shake the very foundations of the Shadowlands!

I think its stupid. But who cares at this point

Man, this some bullshit. All these mighty characters getting kidnapped and killed for basically freaking free, what is this. Archon is supposed to have an insane power level as one of the four mighty ones no? Welp, some rando mortal can move so fast it suprises her. Idk. It's all washed. Whats this lore? Then you make sylvanas manipulate anduin, but have regrets about it. Well, perhaps, at the end of shadowlands, i'm gonna understand it all, so perhaps, this is actually really good!

Sylvannas CANNOT survive this Xpac.

Shalamayne is Hunger

I need this lich king anduin as a skin in heroes of the storm RN !!!!

Wow, putting an ad on a trailer. You guys are greedy as hell Gamestop to monetize a trailer that you hat 0% effort with.

this is so fucking lame it's the same storyline over and over, sylvanas being illidan 2.0, anduin being arthas 2.0, it's sad how underwhelming this game has become, ofc sylvana is gunna backstab the jailer and anduin will be cleansed probably with the help of uther doing something with arthas it's so predictable

Yeaaaaa this story is dead to me. They’ve ruined it. Congratulations Blizzard Executives, you somehow managed to not only destroy Warcraft III but also WoW’s image.

pretty much arthas has returned.

Look at that dissapointed alli players xd Big like to blizz for having balls to fuck up another alli loved char :D U expect it from our leaders (horde) but its fresh water for them xd

first

They are going to redeem Sylvanas, I can tell by the look when she watched Anduin.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Arthas's soul is bound inside of Anduin, and that the Jailer had planned to have Uther toss Arthas into the maw the whole time (especially since the forsworn are working for the Jailer) ... it's not just Anduin inside Anduin's body now. And the Jailer is responsible for the Lich King so wouldn't it make sense that when Arthas was killed, he'd want that soul back because he KNEW that if the Arbiter judged Arthas, he would have likely been sent to Revendreth or something, and not straight back into the Maw where the Jailer would have access to his soul. And given that Sylvanas had/has a huge hate-on for the Lich King, I'm sure she's not particularly feeling great about having to work with him again. I do believe she will be redeemed, but whether of not she actually gets to live after her redemption is another question. This coming from someone who has never been a Sylvanas fan.

So can someone bring me up to speed. Did Anduin walk into heaven and killed the avatar of God randomly without any kind of resistance from that realm, and then walk back like nothing happened?

arthas 2.0

What the fuc

Huh Diablo sure looks different these days

"Death was never meant to be chained" But they're all Death are they not? Yes there is rebirth involved in what the Winter Queen does but even then her power only goes so far (Yesera can't go back to Azeroth as she didn't go through the cycle in the same way others have) The Jailer is just one part of death and I think that's what his undoing is going to be also he says that Anduin preformed flawlessly but that is untrue you see him waver what means he's likely to turn on the Jailer in the last raid. I really dislike the Shadowlands story because you've got a bad guy that doesn't have a grip on his allies. I feel Arthas is going to play a role in freeing Anduin. Also have none of our player characters said to the Archon before this "Oh that's Uther! Weird cause we're able to talk to him on Azeroth and it ain't that version of him" I think that will also play a role this soul the first of his kind to be split in two (that we know) I love WoW Lore and I look forward to the ending of Shadowlands I just don't like the build-up lol

It was oddly easy how anduin killed her and then left without an army fucking him up

Dam he fucked her up 😔

The monthly subscription that never ends! 😱💸

Lame Blizz, so fucking lame.

To people thinking this is another Arthas, I mean I get it. But now it's something more, Blizzard actually managed to turn a character they were protecting since Cataclysm, it's not just a Lich king remastered. You probably thought (just like me) "he gonna make it or not ?!" but look at his story line, you never thought he ended up like that, you know it

God this better not be some permanent change and it's revealed that Anduin's just possessed and we bring him back to normal. What made Anduin such a unique and compelling character in WoW is that he was always striving for understanding and peace, so much that it changed the hearts of other people, and that's something incredibly rare in Azeroth. To turn him into Arthas 2.0 (or Sylvanas 2.0, presuming the change is permanent but he remains king) would utterly ruin everything that make his character good and liked. But hey, Blizzard butchered all the Horde leader's personalities just so they'd agree with Sylvanas' war, so it's right up their alley. Either way, I'm hoping but not holding my breath.

Dude holy shit

Don't do this Sylvanas redemption arc, I get it she was cool and badass when we were 18 but she's had a good run, no harm ending it before you drag it out for another 2 expansions .

I didn't play Shadowlands until now, but holy shit whaaat....

Kinky

the boy king now sits at the masters table

These Blizzard stories are just getting dumber and dumber.

Hmmm now i am thinking of the words that were said back then There must always be a Lich King ! Is this the downfall or the rise of Anduin i wonder !

Everyone to ffxiv now

I always told u to be Night Fae covenant, is the only one that will stand the fight

Kyrestia nooooooo

Sylvanas just has to look at his eyes and she could see that she helped create another arthas.

Ehhhh......

Game's dead. 15 dollars a month for what it is today? No. Absolutely not.. Never again. Legion was fantastic. Sargeras' defeat was underwhelming and should've been like ... a lot more of a cinematic masterpiece. Like, it should have been WAAAAAY bigger. Same can be said for N'zoth. But yet they dedicate resources to polishing Sylvanas and all these other characters that have just sortof 'leaped' into the lore out of no where. We waited YEARS to beat Sargeras and N'zoth. There should have been cinematics for those two. Bro Sargeras deserved a third Legion expansion. They could have built off so much more off of that.. But now they pull this antagonist out of their pockets and shuffle to find reason to keep the game going. What about that big ass sword that was impaled in the planet? We just gonna forget about that, Blizz? Myea? Legion should have been the end or the beginning of the end, with an expansion after it. That should've been it. But they can't continue making a monthly profit off suckers if they did that. China wouldn't like that. This company has lost it's dignity and so many peoples respect. Beating a dead horse would be the understatement of the century. I loved you, Blizzard. Thanks for what you gave me, but fuck this.

wow Blizzard no1 ever saw that coming...

They turned Anduin into Arthas 2.0...

First... The Wolf, now the little lion... When will this get Sylvanas? I'm so glad I stopped playing, this is nonsense...

By Eru, this whole lore is like Tolkien for Dummies...

My Archoooooonn!!!!! Noooo!!!

Arthas 2.0...blizz is so creative nowadays

Yeah it’s bullshit. Fuck wow

Darth Vader voice: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Poor Anduin... Always trying to be the good guy 💔

Obvious Arthus will redeem himself by taking Anduins place..
