The second cinematic to prepare for the new WoW expansion Shadowlands has been released. Check it out here and see what happens.
Even before the new expansion Shadowlands starts in World of Warcraft, Blizzard is releasing a series of short films to get players ready for the new areas and characters. After last week the afterlife: Bastion was already released at Gamescom, which showed the story of Uther Lightbringer, part 2 follows now.
The second cinematic is titled “Afterlife: Maldraxxus” and you can watch it here.
What can be seen? Afterlife: Maldraxxus focuses on another area of the Shadowlands – namely Maldraxxus. Here powerful, honorable souls who typically strive for glory and honor or were particularly strong fighters end up.
We see the orc woman Draka. In life, she was the mother of Thrall and a wild, honorable warrior of the Frostwolf clan. She has found a new place in Maldraxxus and serves one of the great houses there. However, there are unrests, as the houses are being attacked by strange forces. Just as Draka wants to rush to the aid of a house, she becomes a victim of an ambush.
Thanks to her special abilities, she survives the ambush and becomes the baroness of one of the five houses of Maldraxxus – with the vow to defend the Shadowlands.
Is there more to come? Yes. Over the next two weeks, more cinematics will be released, each a week apart.
- Afterlife: Ardenweald will be released on September 10
- Afterlife: Revendreth will be released on September 17
Shortly after, we may already be able to expect the pre-patch for Shadowlands, as the release of the new expansion is less than 2 months away.
What did you think of Afterlife: Maldraxxus? Was the story cooler or weaker than that of the Bastion cinematic?
