Original post
With only one word: “soon,” and a six-second animation for The War Within, Blizzard has sent the entire WoW community on both Facebook and Twitter into a delightful frenzy. This brief glimpse has sparked widespread speculation among players. Many believe this clip hints at a full-fledged animated series. Meanwhile, others are sure that this may just be a little trailer for The War Within.
Is it a trailer? Or is it The War Within animation?
While the animation features The War Within logo, the depicted battle doesn’t really align with the content expected in WoW’s 10th expansion. Instead, it hints at elements from the Second War. Some players believe Blizzard might be cooking up a series covering the lore from the Second War to the present. After all, given the global success of League of Legends: Arcane, if Blizzard chooses to adapt WoW’s rich lore into an animated format, it would undoubtedly captivate fans worldwide and reignite their passion for World of Warcraft.
While the idea of a full-fledged The War Within animated series is enticing, it’s unlikely to be the case in our opinion. More likely, this animation acts as a trailer to generate excitement for the upcoming release of WoW’s 10th expansion. It might be a flashback or teaser leading up to the events of The War Within, just like Queen Ansurek’s Threads of Destiny.
But in the end, who knows? While we will get our answer “soon” enough, there’s still time for some juicy speculations. So we can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this potential The War Within animation in the comments!
