Sylvanas Windrunner confronts the Lich King Bolvar Fordragon in the Icecrown Citadel. Taking the Helm of Domination from the Lich King, Sylvanas tears it in two, opening a portal to the Shadowlands. The Shadowlands is the afterlife of the Warcraft universe.
Post-launch support will ultimately determine Shadowlands’ fate, but as it currently stands World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is a fantastic expansion that once again proves why Blizzard’s 16 year old juggernaut remains the king of the MMORPG genre. While we may be touring Azeroth’s afterlife ourselves, it’s clear World of Warcraft won’t be sauntered off into the great beyond any time soon.
Attack of the Fanboy
Shadowlands plays it safe with numerous takes on established systems and structures, but lets players enjoy those features with a plethora of personality via the covenant factions and themed zones.
