If players were hoping for some idea of where the future expansion (set to launch in April) would lead them, this film disappoints WoTLK Gold. However, it also offers an anti-climactic end to the most resentful villain as well as the general expansion.
Zovaal has been long created as the ultimate bad guy and Blizzard having created the character to be the true creator of a vast amount of World of Warcraft lore, including Arthas being the Lich King, to the creation of the destruction of the planet by the Burning Legion. Players have long wondered what his motivations were as a result. In the end, having Zovaal's infamous 4D-chess plot be solely intended to set up a previously unknown villain who is lurking behind the scenes (a position that the Jailer performed for several expansions) feels like an insult to what could have been an interesting villain.
However, the Jailer's purpose is seemingly nothing more than a stepping stone to an even more formidable enemy, which makes the actual fact that he's integrally linked to key World of Warcraft -universe defining events all the more disappointing for those who love the game.
The cinematic that tells the story of Zovaal is just one of two films which play as part of The Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, with the other involving Alliance Zovaal's King and Zovaal's henchmen Anduin Wrynn. That cinematic left fans in awe, especially with regard to how it dealt with the classic World of Warcraft villain Arthas.
This year's World of Warcraft expansion will be announced on April 19. with the official reveal of Blizzard's World of Warcraft mobile game to be released in May.
Additional details regarding the new expansion are scarce as of now, with Blizzard in their blog posting only saying that they're "excited to cheap WoTLK Classic Gold share with you what we've been working on and what the next chapter of your adventure in Azeroth will take you next."
