If you enjoyed the story of Wrath of the Lich King, you will love this WoW cinematic. A nearly two-hour machinima about the sad tale of “Crusader Bridenbrad”.
About two weeks ago, we reported that YouTuber Cstyle12 released the first trailer for his World of Warcraft machinima “Light’s Champions”. The reaction on Reddit and in the forums was great, as the first trailer left viewers hungry for more.
After more than two years that Cstyle12 has dedicated to Light’s Champions, the big release of the finished film finally took place last Friday (March 16, 2017).
Light’s Champions takes place during the time of Wrath of the Lich King. Horde and Alliance have ventured to Northrend to finally extinguish the undead life lights of the Scourge and the Lich King Arthas. However, there is no talk of peace between the Alliance and Horde – smaller and bigger battles break out repeatedly, and only the Scourge benefits from the new dead. It was amidst this chaos that Crusader Bridenbrad was lost, a long-time friend of the video’s protagonist.
WoW Machinima Light’s Champions has a runtime of nearly 2 hours
But not everything is serious in Light’s Champions – a blood knight and a rogue from the Forsaken constantly argue about which weapon and viewpoint is the best. The elf is usually the loser.
Now, without further ado, here is the “main program”. Here you can watch the full version of Light’s Champions with English subtitles.
Many commentators are reminded of the saga “Tales From the Past 3,” which was created with a similar effort back then. You can find this and other machinimas about WoW in this post.
Cstyle12 feels honored by the comparisons to Tales From the Past, as it was one of his biggest sources of inspiration.
What do you think of the film? Damn good work that has been delivered? Or do you find it incomprehensible why someone would create a 2-hour “play” movie for which they are not even paid?
