[News] Shadows Rising Now Available for Pre-purchase

[Yvenathilm-fenris (Yvenathilm)]

And if Genn is right then Talanji is next and perhaps the last or(if Geya’rah is still a warmonger) 2nd to last of the warmongers who will eventually turn on the Horde.

[Biyobi-proudmoore]

Can we keep the cover as is? I think Shadows Rising: Cover not Final has a real ring to it.

[Drsin-doomhammer]

Does this mean July/August for Xpac release?

[Therinity-lightbringer]

COME ON! I need masks first and new yorkers get it first 'cause we’re the best state

[Snowcow-bloodsail-buccaneers]

I can’t wait to have more story not included in the game so nobody knows what the hell is going on.

“The Horde is nothing!” With those infamous words, Sylvanas Windrunner betrayed and abandoned the Horde she vowed to serve. The Dark Lady and her forces now work in the shadows as both the Horde and Alliance, including her own sister, Alleria, race to uncover her next move. Read on for a first look at the upcoming expansion prequel novel, Shadows Rising.

Really SIR, i thought I was GOING to see some kind of CINEMATIC at the BOTTOM, turns out a BOOK? yikess!!

You have a thing against books? That’s preposterous!

Also, I’m still not a sir, but I appreciate the politeness.

[Murphyzombie-dalaran]

You have no idea how many WoW fans are dyslexic. A cinematic or actually adding this stuff into the game, is much much preferred or even a cartoon series.

[Synsha-sargeras]

Yay!

[Baelfeuer-arygos]

How bout y’all put the story in the game we pay $15 a month for.

[Darthcutie-amanthul (Darthcutie)]

Can I preorder from Australia?

[Astrius-dalaran]

Really SIR, i thought I was GOING to see some kind of CINEMATIC at the BOTTOM, turns out a BOOK? yikess!!

Do you not have books?

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

More Sylvanas glorification is exactly what we needed, it’s not like there are several BfA events that would desperately need a conclusion or questions that would have to be answered.

If the book can’t even conclude or continue on things like Teldrassil, why bother with it? Couldn’t care less about even more Sylvanas. Thank you, but not interested.

No, you’re wrong.
The previewed text doesn’t look anything like ‘sylvanas glorification’.
Nothing can be construed about the book from a few paragraphs.

[Oakenfist-durotan]

Oh gee, more Sylvanas stuff, because the warcraft IP is definitely missing that.

Somewhere, Steve Danuser is sweating furiously as he waits for his advanced copy.

[Baltezar-darkspear]

I really love the books but when is the audio book going to be available?

[Dlysexic-khazgoroth]

You have no idea how many WoW fans are dyslexic.

I’m feeling pretty attacked right now

[Walburgha-aerie-peak (Walburgha)]

I want the story in the game, not in some separate novel.

[Eilykin-dalaran (Eilykin)]

“The Horde is nothing!” With those infamous words, Sylvanas Windrunner betrayed and abandoned the Horde she vowed to serve.

I really like this quote. Hopefully no more people will insist that Sylvanas did nothing wrong, or that she is somehow still working for the Hordes best interests.

I might pick this book up for that alone.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

So, we go back to Zandalar? We have Zekhan and Talanji? We have Turalyon and Alleria, maybe development to void elves? We have a Supreme Allied Commander? We have resolution for Horde? We are going after Nathanos and Sira Moonwarden?

Why do I feel this would have been a much better 8.3 plot and conclusion to BfA than the one we actually got?

[Nei-queldorei (Nei)]

Books should be supplemental to the game telling a story. Stop putting main storyline in books. That’s half the reason I hated BfA. The story made little sense if you only saw the in-game story. Especially if you only played one faction, then you only got 1/2 the in-game story!

[Grohrnurrohm-rexxar]

Conclude Teldrassil? The fire took care of that, that’s fairly concluded
