Finally, it’s time for a back surgery for the Orcs in WoW. We will show you how the green and brown skins look upright.
At BlizzCon 2017, there were numerous announcements regarding World of Warcraft and the upcoming expansion Battle for Azeroth. In addition to the announcements of the Allied Races, which are now largely playable, there was also the revelation that existing races would receive new customization options.
One of these options is that Orcs can walk upright in the new addon. Previously, Orcs have always been hunched over and had a strong hunchback. However, some exceptions, such as Garrosh Hellscream, were able to walk upright. Players have long wished for their Orc to finally have a better posture.
With the latest Alpha patch of Battle for Azeroth, this dream is finally coming true. The models and animations of the upright Orcs have been found in the game data! The colleagues at mmo-champion have already created a small video that provides a first impression of the animations and movements of the upright Orcs.
Upright Orcs are likely coming with Patch 8.0
The adjustment for a straight back for Orcs is likely to come with the pre-patch for Battle for Azeroth, that is, with Patch 8.0, which will be released a few weeks before the official launch – sometime in early summer this year.
If Blizzard adheres to the original plan, then the option for the “Upright” Orcs will simply be added at the barber. Better not ask us why a Goblin barber suddenly has the capability to perform operations on the spine – but at least there will be no costly character customization required.
What do you think of the upright Orcs? Will you have your Orc straighten his back? Or is it part of the Orc experience that they walk hunched?
