World of Warcraft leaders say World magazine will eventually talk about Sargeras’ sword: “Mason promises and Metzen won’t lie”

In every discussion about the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft, there is an elephant in the room. Or should I say, a sword. A very, very big sword.

I'm talking about the sword of Sargeras, a absolutely huge weapon, which is a few times before the Sargeras pierced into the Earth's peaks and has been sitting there since, without leading, possibly doing something horrible to the Earth.

WOW fans have been asking if we have ever done something about it. When asked, Blizzard has been very, very y. Game Director Ion Hazzikostas said the answer is coming, if not at midnight, at least at the end of Worldsoul Saga.

To review, Sargeras's sword was the giant's sword, and Titan Sargeras' sword pierced directly into the earth at the end of the legion of Wow's legion, as he was kicked out of Azeroth. Initially, it poisoned the Earth, but players used their Legion Artifact Weapon to absorb the poison and then bought Earth Time on the sword…what did to it. Although the sword further discusses Azeroth's battle in subsequent expansions, it is largely forgotten from a plot point of view. Instead, it just…sits in the middle of Siris.

Really, I can't emphasize, this is Huge. You can see it from several areas! Does anyone think this is a problem?

In 2023, when Worldsoul Saga is announced, there is a brief moment of joy, and Blizzard may eventually pull a sword from Earth, or at least do something to it. There is one Sword statue in the conference hallequipped with the title of “What Sword?” Hazzikostas even wore a shirt with “What sword?” on it. At the time, Chris Metzen, executive creative director of Warcraft, confirmed that we will see the solution to the sword problem in the final of the trilogy, The Last Titan.

But the last Titans can't arrive anytime soon, and all the wars we've seen at midnight still have no swords. So, in a conversation with Hazzikostas and WOW-led UX designer Crash Reed, I asked them about the sword. What deals are there? Are we finally doing something about it at midnight?

“What sword?” They both responded, and adjusted in a predictable manner. I smiled. Yes, OK. I deserve it.

But Hazzikostas did continue. us Will be Do something. “Before Worldsoul Saga is over. Metzen promises that Metzen won't lie.”

So hang there, everyone. Just like the rest of the next expansion, probably all or most of the rest of the last or most of the Titans.
