In World of Warcraft, the new models of the blood elves are set to make their debut this Tuesday.
Almost all character models underwent remodelling with Warlords of Draenor. Only the blood elves still have their old face, as they probably needed the least visit to the plastic surgeon. This will soon change, the artists at Blizzard have been working on new models for a while, but simply weren’t ready in time for the release of Warlords of Draenor.
Indeed, the blood elves are very important for many Horde players: Among all the greenskins, the undead, and the orcish warriors, they stand out as a “humanoid” alternative. With Burning Crusade, they were introduced as an attractive “Horde” race to counter the population advantage of the Alliance. Humanoid races are, statistically, the most frequently chosen in MMOs.
This Tuesday, for the first time, players will get a glimpse of the “new” blood elves.
The wait is over, we’ll be giving you a sneak peek at the new blood elf models tomorrow!

Update 25.11 19:04: And here they are.
No date has been set yet for when the new models will arrive in the game, but they are optimistic in the latest Artcraft that it could be very soon. They have gained plenty of experience with the redesign of the other models.
