Um ihre Community möglichst optimal auf die in dieser Woche anstehende Gamescom 2018 vorzubereiten, veröffentlichten die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment im Verlauf des heutigen Abends netterweise eine als offizielle Vorschau auf dieses Event fungierende Presseerklärung. Zur Freude der Fans von World of Warcraft geht aus diesem Artikel unter anderem hervor, dass die Entwickler am nächsten Freitag, den 24. August 2018 endlich die dritte und letzte Folge aus der animierten Webserie Kriegsbringer mit ihrer Spielerschaft teilen werden. Wie bereit durch den Trailer und die Grafik zu dieser Reihe bekannt ist, soll sich der dritte Abschnitt dieses Projekts um die Nagakönigin Azshara drehen und den Spielern einen ersten Eindruck von der Rolle dieses Charakters in der Geschichte von Battle for Azeroth liefern.

Auch wenn die Presseerklärung von Blizzard Entertainment ansonsten keine Informationen zu weiteren richtigen Ankündigungen zu neuen Inhalten für World of Warcraft beinhaltet, so gehen viele Spieler aktuell davon aus, dass die Entwickler den letzten Kriegsbringer-Teil nicht einfach so ohne Bedeutung zeigen werden. Den Theorien dieser Personen zufolge ist dieses Video ein Teil einer Präsentation, die der Community den in einigen Monaten erscheinenden Patch 8.1 ein weniger näher bringen soll. Wie richtig diese Vermutung ist, erfahren wir spätestens am nächsten Freitag.
