I really hope we get playable Vrykul sometime during the Worldsoul Saga. They would be a perfect neutral allied race. Or even A/H specific. I don’t care, as long as we get them.
Like you guys said already:
-
With the return of Tyr, it would make sense for the Vrykul to flock to his side. (Maybe even sparking a conflict with Odyn? We already know they’re not going to be happy with each other when they eventually meet again. Odyn was never keen of dragons, other than his own Thorignir. He was also against the creation of the Dragon Aspects. Meanwhile Tyr was the one who came up with the idea. Now, one of the Aspects is a particular frost dragon that just turned Odyn into an icecube, and “stole” his loyal Thorignir from him.) One of the first things he asks after being reforged is something like “Where are the Vrykul?” I get it, the Tyr’s Guard are explaining to him that much has happened since his death, such as the Vrykul succumbing to the Curse of Flesh and “devolving” into Humans. But still, I can totally see Tyr rounding up the Vrykul, who then potentially decide to join the player factions.

We will return to Northrend in The Last Titan. The continent where we first met the Vrykul. It would make perfect sense to introduce them as a playable race here. Seeing how the Dwarves will be getting their ancestors in The War Within, where we go to a place they originate from (underground), the Humans should also be reconnecting with their ancestors, resulting in the Vrykul becoming a playable race.
I understand that human is not the most fantastical race. And that we already have 3 variations of them. Well, 4 if you count the Forsaken… But at least they’re all different, not just literal reskins. The Gilnean Humans are fricking werewolves even!
A lot of people argue that Kul Tirans have already given us the Vrykul race in a sense. Don’t get me wrong, I love my chonky boys. But Kul Tiran should never have been a playable RACE. They’re literally just Humans. Clearly they only came to be because of the need for an Alliance allied race to go with the Horde’s Zandalari Trolls. At best they should have been a body type for regular Humans.
Honestly, Vrykul should have been a playable race since Legion (or BFA pre-patch), since we worked with them in Stormheim. But alas. However, the Worldsoul Saga is the perfect opportunity to finally make them playable. Here’s hoping that we get our vikings soon.
