WoW: Informationen von der Comic-Con
An diesem Wochenende findet die Comic-Con 2015 in San Diego statt und erlaubt es somit einer Vielzahl von Firmen, Produzenten und Entwicklern Werbung für kommende Comics, Serien, Bücher, Spiele oder andere Projekte zu machen. Dazu gehören unter anderen auch die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment, die auf dieser Messe einige neue Produkte für ihren Blizzard Gear Store vorgestellt haben. Um auch alle nicht auf der Comic-Con anwesenden Spieler über diese kommenden Artikel zu informieren, haben die Entwickler mittlerweile einen neuen Blogeintrag veröffentlicht, der die auf der Comic-Con vorgestellten Produkte kurz vorstellt.
Zusammenfassung:
- Der Warcraft-Film
- Auch wenn es bisher noch keine Informationen zu diesem Film gibt, so erwähnt der Artikel von Blizzard doch das Panel von Legendary, welches Samstag um 2:30 p.m durchgeführt werden soll. Dabei raten die Entwickler allen Gästen der Comic-Con sich dieses Panel unbedingt anzuschauen.
- Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood
- Bei „Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood“ handelt es sich um ein neues Comic, welches die Vorgeschichte zum Warcraft-Film erzählen soll. Das Promo-Bild zeigt dabei die jungen Versionen von Llane, Lothar und Medivh, wie sie im Schlingendorntal nach Trollen jagen. Als Release wird der Mai 2016 kurz vor der Veröffentlichung des Films angestrebt.

Der erste Abschnitt dieser Bücher reicht dabei von der Einstehung des Universums bis zu den Ereignissen aus dem Buch „Der letzte Wächter. Neben der Aufzeichnung der Geschichte dieser Welt beinhalten diese Bücher dann auch noch Artworks von Peter Lee, die speziell für diese Reihe gezeichnet wurden.
