The great “Sylvanas drama” can begin. Check out the cinematic here that shows how the fate of the Shadowlands from World of Warcraft changes.
While we in Europe are still waiting for the weekly reset on Wednesday, players in America are already mastering the new raid in World of Warcraft. The Sanctum of Domination is available on normal and heroic difficulty – and the first guilds have already finished.
This is accompanied by the new cinematic that plays after the battle against Sylvanas Windrunner.
Spoiler warning! If you do not want to know what happens after the Sylvanas fight, do not continue reading. You have been warned.
When does the cinematic play? The cinematic plays after the last boss in the “Sanctum of Domination”, the final battle against Sylvanas Windrunner. She confronts the players as the last hurdle and defends Zovaal, the Jailer, while he tries to implement his plans.
Here you can watch the new video:
This is what is seen in the cinematic: The cinematic shows Zovaal, the Jailer, achieving his goal. He extracts a sphere from the Arbiter and implants it into the hole in his chest. This gives him a new form and he becomes whole again.
He is so powerful that he captures all the great heroes of Azeroth with a single gesture and brings them under his control.
Sylvanas points out to Zovaal that now they have everything needed. But Zovaal explains that he will create a new reality in which “everyone will serve.” Sylvanas hears these words that change in her mind. They are no longer Zovaal’s words, but those of the Lich King. Sylvanas turns against Zovaal and attacks him – but he simply intercepts the shot.
Sylvanas declares that she will “never serve.” Zovaal only finds that “regrettable” and tells that Sylvanas has helped him restore something. He will now return this “favor.” He takes out a soul crystal, breaks it, and throws it at Sylvanas.
Sylvanas then weakens, falls to the ground, and her eyes begin to glow blue. Zovaal and Anduin step through a portal and disappear. Sylvanas loses consciousness and the heroes of Azeroth approach her threateningly – this is where the video ends.
What does the cinematic mean for Shadowlands? The Jailer has achieved his goal. He has reached the peak of power and that is just when Sylvanas turned away from him. She seems to have undergone a change of heart and turns against Zovaal. But what he has done to her is not entirely clear. Did he complete Sylvanas’ soul again? And what will the heroes now do with Sylvanas?
How did you like the cinematic? Are you satisfied with Sylvanas’ fate? Or is it all terrible what Blizzard has done to her?
