Even more stories we'd like to explore through Lorewalking

Even more stories we'd like to explore through Lorewalking

Author: Blizzard Watch October 15, 2025 Duration: 58:54

Now that we've seen Lorewalking a bit, a listener asks the Lore Watch team what other events in Azeroth's history we should get to go visit through that system. While the listener suggests the War of the Three Hammers -- which Joe and Matt are on board with -- the response runs the gamut of Azeroth's history, from ancient events to a couple from WoW we just weren't there to see, all the way back to the creation of Azeroth herself. They ran through events with dizzying speed, some of which are well known to us, and others which are mostly only known to the loremasters among us.


Or maybe we should kill Arthas another time, that would be fun, too.

Dive into the rich narrative worlds crafted by Blizzard Entertainment with the Lore Watch Podcast. Each week, the team from Blizzard Watch gathers not just to recap events in games like World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch, but to really pull at the threads of their stories. You’ll hear discussions that go beyond surface-level plot points, examining character motivations, historical connections, and the implications of the latest game updates or expansions. The focus is always on the depth and evolution of these fictional universes, treating the lore with the seriousness of dedicated fans who love to speculate and analyze. Whether it’s a deep dive into a new zone’s background, a debate over a villain’s true intentions, or an exploration of a tangential game that’s caught their interest, the conversation is driven by genuine curiosity. This podcast is for anyone who has ever finished a campaign or explored a new patch and found themselves wondering about the larger story at play. It’s about the context behind the quests and the secrets hidden in the codex entries. Tune in for thoughtful, engaging talk that treats video game narratives as the compelling, ever-changing tapestries they are, all brought to you by enthusiasts who live in these worlds as much as you do.
