Another war chief will appear in the course of WoW: Shadowlands again. The old orc Garrosh gets a bit of story.
In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, players encounter many souls that have died on Azeroth. However, one character has been hiding so far – Garrosh Hellscream. Now, the developers have revealed that all Garrosh fans might still have something to look forward to that will happen later in Shadowlands.
What about Garrosh? Garrosh last appeared in the cinematic “Afterlife: Revendreth.” There, he was seen being tortured to extract the anima from him. He is permanently used by the Venthyr to generate more anima.
But many players were disappointed when Garrosh did not appear in Revendreth at all. Although he was teased in the cinematic, he played no role in Revendreth. He didn’t appear in the general story or in the Venthyr’s covenant campaign.
What has been said now? In an interview with Bellular, much was discussed about the story of Shadowlands, and Garrosh was also a topic. It was said:
Obviously, he [Garrosh] was not part of the Shadowlands 9.0 story, but as we move into Chains of Domination, we have the chance to explore some of these other stories. We believe that Garrosh had a really great story arc and that he had a proper climax in Warlords of Draenor, so we don’t want to tell a big story with him again.
But I think it’s safe to assume that we will get a resolution for his appearance in the afterlife trailer, and I believe you will see some very fitting events, but I don’t want to spoil it.
It’s cool to talk about Revendreth and these other afterlives and what makes them unique. Revendreth is unique in that it doesn’t necessarily have to be the final resting place of people. It’s more about rehabilitation – can a soul be saved or is it released into the Maw? Similar to Ardenweald, which is more about the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. That’s one of the fun elements to keep in mind about Revendreth.
Garrosh is a battery, a source of immense power because he has lived such a large life. That’s a fun story being told.
What does this mean? In plain terms, this likely means that Garrosh will at least appear in some quests, and we will learn more about his role as a “battery” for the Venthyr. However, those who expect Garrosh to play a major role again are likely to be disappointed. Still, it’s good to know that Garrosh will be seen again after his appearance in the cinematic.
What do you think about meeting Garrosh again? Is it cool to dust off this character once more? Or should the dead in WoW be left to rest?
We have thoroughly analyzed the latest cinematic with Anduin.
