Blizzard Entertainment has pulled back the curtain on Afterlives, a World of Warcraft animated series that will premiere at Gamescom later this week. Blizzard has released similar animated projects prior to the release of new expansions, including Legion. As such, Afterlives features a similar animated style. Further details about the series have not been revealed, but it seems that Afterlives will flesh out the story of the upcoming Shadowlands expansion. Interestingly enough, the trailer seems to show a number of characters that are deceased, including Garrosh Hellscream. The official World of Warcraft Twitter account released a teaser for the premiere, which can be viewed below.

It’s been on loop for like 30 minutes now and I still can’t get enough
Reception all around seems quite strong.

The presence of Garrosh is causing some speculation.
Afterlives looks interesting to watch.

So why would I hear that Garrosh Hellscream is returning in #Shadowlands? That makes a little sense to see Garrosh returning. Meaning Garrosh will be the next warchief of the hordes or he turns evil again. So how this is going to setup?
It’s definitely building more hype for Shadowlands.
Ya’ll ever get so hype for something that you get a tummy ache? Oh hell yea, Afterlives is going to be amazing! It looks like it’s in the Warbringers style too. This just gets me more excited for #Shadowlands https://t.co/6SIwNpecBZ

Give the people what they want, Blizzard!
For the record, I would ABSOLUTELY watch an entire TV (well, streaming) series done in this art-style. There’s enough lore in Warcraft, you could just retell the previous canon and I would NEVER STOP WATCHING.
