Aloha! As in Warlods of Draenor and Mists of Pandaria, Blizzard will release the "Harbingers" series on July 21, a series of animated cutscenes of each of Legion's important characters.
Harbingers: The Legion Animated Cinematics
At last, the next animated shorts for Legion, Harbingers, are revealed. As Blizzard tells us, the series promises to immerse itself in the stories of some of Azeroth's most powerful and influential characters from the Legion expansion, hordes of demon hunters and the hellish armies of the Burning Legion are well-known faces throughout Azeroth.
The first full episode of Harbingers will be out next week during the Warcraft: Road to Legion presentation on July 21 at the San Diego International Comic-Con Convention (San Diego Comic-Con for friends). Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn more about the Legion's secrets and stories from well-known Blizzard employees such as James Waugh, Dave Kosak, Matt Samia and Chris Robinson. Take a look at the full trailer.
The shorts will have the same style of art, story and delivery, with that stylized, animated feel, comic book movement that becomes very dynamic and entertaining, I love it and it has me fascinated! Legion Harbingers will drink from expansion presentation animation shorts like The Burdens of ShaoHao in Mists of Pandaria and The Warlords of Warlords of Draenor.
The Tomb of Sargeras has reopened, and now the demons of the Burning Legion are pouring into our world. They are concentrating all their terrifying power to summon the dark titan on Azeroth… and they have already found the key to bringing him back.
Now that the Alliance and Horde have been defeated, only you can wield Warcraft's most legendary artifacts, explore the ancient Broken Isles for relics of the Titans, and confront the Legion before Azeroth's last hope is dashed.
Prepare yourself, champion. Extinction is near.
