Lore Watch Episode 49: Future of the Lich King

Welcome to episode 49 of Lore Watch! Lore Watch is a podcast that explores a single lore subject about the World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, or any other games that interest us. Join hosts Anne Stickney, Matthew Rossi, and Joe Perez for an in-depth look at the evolving stories of the games we all love.

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt and Joe answer a couple of reader emails on a particularly interesting subject — the new Lich King, Bolvar Fordragon. Is there anything left of Bolvar? Is he working towards darker purposes we don’t quite understand just yet? And perhaps most importantly — does there really always have to be a Lich King?
