Please Blizzard, we need an animated series that retells the story of Warcraft, starting from the First War. The fandom will love it!

[TresStrom]

Illidan watching this be like “She is now prepared”

[Toffeehammer]

Very cool but man it's gotta be rough on Vereesa being the "normal" sister.

[cristianelvis]

Sylvanas -
Alleria -
Vereesa, please stop "protecting the family"

5:05 Arator's face being half in the light and half in the shadow is really chef's kiss, blizzard. Bravo

[CaleoGaming]

Blizzard, if there are any smart people left in the company, turn this into an animated series.

[giraffenecksoup]

Please. PLEASE. Give us an animated series

[Demorthus]

Jeez that void part REALLY makes the audio drama come to life; for those who listened to it. That's insane

[alfonsourrutia]

Blizzard needs to start animating this fantastic universe, imagine the possibilities, with the story of wow you can release 10 or more seasons, animated in 12 chapters or 8. The public would love to see this universe being open to all kinds of audiences.

The animation is amazing

Showing silvermoon in its full glory is just amazing

Alleria dawning her new armor

Elves fighting orcs and trolls

Everything about it is just beautiful to watch.

[Blerdcalibur]

Turalyon weeping over no longer being able to embrace the woman he loves hit me hard

[tworadon]

Thousands of Shadow Priests saving the world throughout many years and no one bats an eye. Alleria does something similar and everyone loses their minds.

[ThatIrishLass]

Oh thank god, the new writers actually understand who Sylvanas is.

[Protosszergling]

Those classic Warcraft 2 Troll axethrowers! "Say hello to my little friend!"

[thedivoxx]

This is beautiful. An animated series, 1 season per expansion, would be amazing. One of the main issues with new players right now is that the story is so convoluted in-game, and there isn't any good canonical material that people can easily consume to experience everything that has happened so far.

[DomanaxTV]

Yep, that was sick. That felt like warcraft!

[ModelJulieMadsen-ke]

Poor Alleria. She lost her family, she lost the chance to see her son grow up, she metaphorically lost Turalyon, she lost the light.
And now she lost her drip.

[thevirtualknight]

The castlevania-Style is just on point *chefkiss*

[lukasmuller]

Now we know why she looks so different. Her first Breakup…

[thanatosdeathwhisper]

Thats it Blizz. We need more stories like this. Show, dont tell guys. You got some gifted people working for you. Just give them the freedom and the resources to go all out
