Afterlives, a Shadowlands animated series to premiere at gamescom Opening Night Live

Dip your toes into the next expansion of World of Warcraft in Shadowlands with a new four-part animated series, Afterlives. Get a closer look into the covenants that hold dominion over the expansion’s new zones.

Pull up a chair and tune in to the gamescom Opening Night Live stream, which will kick off at 11:00 a.m. PDT on Aug. 27 (or 2 a.m. GMT +8 on August 28) and catch the first part of this brand-new animated series.

If you were fans of the Warbringers and Harbingers animations that preceded Battle for Azeroth and Legion respectively, you can get a taste of what’s to come with a preview trailer now available on the World of Warcraft YouTube channel.

As primers before you check out the animated series, we’ve covered various segments of these afterlives of Shadowlands as well, in Ardenweald, Revendreth, and Bastion, plus an interview with game director Ion Hazzikostas here.

The realms of the dead in Azeroth seem so known, yet still mysterious. What stories await you champions? What lies beyond these covenants? If you’ve been playing the beta, doubtless you’ve been working to find these answers before the launch of the expansion proper. Will the animated series sway your covenant choices? It’s time to find out.
