Would you like there to be an action game like God of War in the WoW universe?
I think for me a good story would be Grom Hellscream drinking the blood of mannaroth, killing the Draeneis to his death in Warcraft 3.

I don’t know about this idea…
Wasn’t that like 30 years ago?

Nah Blizzard would put gear progression in it and make you kill each boss 47 times until you got the ilvl you needed to progress to the next boss.
Hard Pass.
Yeah I believe thats when Grom Hellscream died. In the events of Warcraft 3.

Absolutely not.
God of War…craft. It’s me. It was me all along.
I’m just picturing it being something like that prince of persia game that had Godsmack playing when one specific enemy showed up
They tried to cash in on the stealth action genre with StarCraft: Ghost. And they never released the game. So, I don’t think they will try to cash in on the God of War gameplay either.

WoW can’t do grimdark or edgy content.
It just… can’t.
And not only because it’s a limit related to writing staff, but because it would be too dark for the general audience they think (or want to think) their subscribers represent.
It will, of course, occasionally have something that’s Metal as F***, but as I have to censor a “grown up big boy” word with a string of asterixis to post it on the forums, I think Kratos being Kratos wouldn’t really work out.
Yeah…
It’s so sad to see to Warcraft turned more and more into Disney. Look at the art for Warcraft 2 and then look at Dragonflight. It’s fine for Hearthstone and Arclight Rumble to look cute but WoW itself shouldn’t. My theory is they’ve lightened up WoW so there’s less overlap with Diablo 4.
It’d be interesting, but I don’t see Blizzard being able to pull it off.
I mean they wrote a LOT of child murder in MoP for stuff to read outside the game. I think they’re capable of it for in game stuff without even bumping the rating up.
While I don’t exactly agree with the OP’s, uh, idea, I think an action RPG based in the Warcraft universe would be fun!
I do like Soulsbornering style games a whole lot, and think one could make a Warcraft based setting out of that!
Grom got his tush beat by the night elves so hard that he had to run back to Demon Daddy for a powerup.
That was the bit in 3.
I mean, yeah.
Like Sylvanas ripping a wolfs head off in a rage with her bare hands and feeling a rare moment of what passes for joy as it’s hot red lifeblood spatters across her face is Grimdark and Metal…
…but stuff like that isn’t in the game at all, just really in the associated books and media.
At least not in the current game.
Things like Ur’zul are certainly the product of some messed up fleshcrafting, but only the Diablo franchise could really show something like that happen.
It’s one thing for Rexar to say he’s going to stay and “carve myself a trophy” but I don’t think we could ever see that in game.
There was also just the oodles and oodles of war crimes that make up dragon lore.
Wrathions creation was something I considered really messed up and almost out of place.
There’s a fan theory that Alextrasza was corrupted all along.
So onyxia 2.0?
