Sylvanas’ redemption arc in World of Warcraft
The World of Warcraft original cinematic introduces one of the most interesting new characters in the game: Sylvanas. She first appeared in Warcraft 3 as a High Elf ranger who fought against Arthas. Arthas then raises Sylvanas as a banshee and uses her as a weapon of war. The two versions of Sylvanas eventually meet and fight one another.
Throughout the story, Sylvanas had conflicting morals. She started a continent-wide war to make her slaves do her dirty work. As such, players were growing increasingly anxious about the storyline. But with the World of Warcraft original cinematic, that storyline is now complete. Here’s a look at Sylvanas’ arc in World of Warcraft.
The Jailer
The Jailer, the world’s most notorious boss, is a character from World of Warcraft. He has spoken 429 words in the Shadowlands, and is considered the central antagonist of the game’s tales, from Warcraft III to the subsequent expansions. He is also considered the main villain of the game, as his actions have brought over many of the characters from the original game, such as Kel’Thuzad, Sylvanas, Devos, and Sire Denathrius.
Players who have completed Zereth Mortis’ current Pact campaign can view the cinematic after completing the campaign. In the cinematic, Sylvanas, an owl, searches for souls that have fallen into the Maw, and brings them back to the soul judge. The cinematic is also available to non-player characters and can be viewed at any time. It was originally scheduled to be released later in the game, but was delayed because of server issues.
Sarah Kerrigan
The newest addition to the Starcraft universe is the space marine and central antihero of the Brood War expansion, Sarah Kerrigan. She is an ascendant ruler of the Zerg, an alien race that operates through a hive mind. Her goals are to destroy civilizations, take over planets, and subsume the genetic material of other organisms. The character is said to “infest” enemies, which is a nod to both Starship Troopers and Species 8472 from Star Trek.
During the film, Kerrigan, accompanied by her friends James Raynor and Valerian, embarks on an assault on the imperial palace. As the two characters clash, the Xel’naga artifact almost kills them both, but Raynor manages to disable it and saves Kerrigan’s life. Meanwhile, Arcturus Mengsk had a sleeper agent awaiting her, so she had to make do with him. However, when the Xel’Naga discovered this, Kerrigan remained with Mengsk for a while, hoping to kill Arcturus Mengsk, but her loyalty was tested when she was forced to smuggle the artifact to Char.
Cataclysm trailer
The original cinematic of World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Cataclysm, has been released, and it’s truly iconic. It combines fantastic voice acting and music with the destruction of iconic landmarks. The footage also shows the destruction of iconic locations, such as the Darkshore bridge and the goblin statue in Booty Bay. Watching the trailer might just make you tear up.
Blizzard is known for their cinematic clips, and the new World of Warcraft: Cataclysm trailer is no exception. Released on December 7th in Australia, this new World of Warcraft expansion will reimagine the world of Azeroth and unleash the wrath of Deathwing the Destroyer. The game’s cinematic trailer promises a great time for all who’ve played the original World of Warcraft.
Mists of Pandaria trailer
The cinematic opening for the latest expansion in World of Warcraft is here. The new film showcases the colorful ruins of Pandaria, which is a continent in the game’s universe. As if to prove how far Blizzard has come with their video games, the trailer also teases the final product. While this trailer may be short, it’s packed with action, intrigue, and humor. There are only a few questions lingering, but it’s clear that it will be an enjoyable experience.
This cinematic introduces two new races: Tauren and Blood Elf. The footage shows great gameplay for the races. The Tauren uses Polymorph, while the Blood Elf Priest uses Holy Nova. The new spells are also clearly demonstrated, and the cinematic is full of actual in-game spells. But it’s all worth watching because of the incredible gameplay shown in the trailer.
