Discussion

I've seen people discussing Covenants in World of Warcraft's upcoming Shadowlands expansion and how they don't feel like they can choose one based on the aesthetics or storytelling -- the fact that the Covenants add real, tangible power to a character means that they will always be subject to balance issues.

We got some additional insight last week that the four Covenants we'll choose from in Shadowlands are intended to tap into the identity of our characters, helping them to become more unique than the race, class, and specialization that defines them in terms of gameplay.

The new login screen for Shadowlands has been released.

Look, this is a serious question.

The dream of another Warcraft movie feels like, well, a dream.

Let me tell you a secret: I become more productive while operating under pressure.

In the recent "Road to Shadowlands" update, spooky floating eyeball Game Director Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas discussed some shifts in how players will experience choosing and potentially re-choosing their Covenants.

For me it's dinosaurs.

The whole Shadowlands idea -- the fact that we're traveling to the land of the dead, seeing new realms we've never seen and exploring whole new concepts that change and grow the Warcraft setting in ways we've never really thought about -- has me looking at that infamous Warcraft cosmology image and wondering about where we could possibly go that we haven't been to yet.

It turns out that people and objects can leave the Shadowlands and make their way back to Azeroth, as seen in the recent Afterlives animated shorts.
