Our Lorewalking wish list

Our Lorewalking wish list

Author: Blizzard Watch June 11, 2025 Duration: 1:02:29

The new Lorewalking feature in World of Warcraft is one we can use to explore more moments from the game we haven't seen, or explore the ones we have seen more in-depth. A listener wrote in and asked Matt and Joe which other points of lore they'd like to see show up in Lorewalking later, so of course, the entire hour is devoted to answering that question. From the huge, earth-shaking moments involving the Titans, to the old events leading to the current ones with the lineage of humans, all the way to long-forgotten quests, there are a lot of story beats they'd love to experience from a new angle.

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.
