Leading up to the release of the Legion expansion for World of Warcraft, Blizzard announced their plans to release animated shorts titled “Harbingers”, which from what we can tell seems to revolve around some of the key characters in the upcoming expansion. The first short featured Gul’dan, the second featured Khagar, and now the third and final Harbingers video has been released.
This video features none other than Illidan, a character from the Warcraft universe who has shifted from being both the protagonist and antagonist, although in Legion it seems like Illidan will act as more of an anti-hero kind of character and will most likely be leading the Demon Hunter class.
The video shows Illidan leading a group of Demon Hunters in an invasion on the Legion’s world. “In this new animated short, follow the tale of an Illidari recruit and Illidan’s elite corps of demon hunters as they prepare to engage the Burning Legion for the first time.” It also shows him uttering one of the game’s most famous lines, “You are not prepared”, which will no doubt send chills down the spine of many a World of Warcraft player.
Legion has been set for a release on the 30th of August, but for players who pre-purchased the game, you will be able to access the Demon Hunter class starting on the 9th of August, which is also when the Demon Invasion world event will be kicking off.
