Wouldn't be a patch without cinematic hype, and so we have datamined a cinematic for the Shadowlands pre-patch, featuring Bolvar and various faction leaders!
In this cinematic, we see the aftermath of Bolvar's defeat at the hands of Sylvanas, as he's carried off by Nazgrim and Whitemane to rest and recover. As Bolvar speaks of impending doom and Sylvanas' future plans, the camera turns to Tyrande, Thrall, Anduin, Jaina, and Baine with ominous music, closing with Sylvanas' mawsworn valkyr snatching Anduin away. A common theme among all these visuals is that the leaders were taken in front of friends and family, leaving those behind with feelings of guilt.
In this cinematic, Bolvar warns us about Sylvanas in a similar manner to his cameo in the
Shadowlands Collector's Edition
, in which we learn that the Helm of Domination is the Jailer's key to gaining power in Azeroth!
This cinematic then leads into
Death's Rising
, an event that finds Azeroth in chaos, overrun with zombie invasions and all faction leaders from the cinematic, save for Tyrande, missing. The story will then continue in the
Shadowlands Maw questline
which finds us trying to rescue the leaders.
We're also expecting a Nathanos cinematic in the pre-patch and a
face-off between Anduin and the Jailer
, based on encrypted data.
The
Death's Rising event
isn't active quite yet, but check out our pre-patch guides for the content which is up!
