If you were excited about the promise of the World of Warcraft add-on Warcraft Tales, the bad news is that the project has been shut down by Blizzard’s legal team. The good news is that you probably didn’t have much time to get excited about it, at least. According to BellularGaming’s official announcement on his YouTube channel, the legal side of Blizzard considered it a third-party expansion rather than a simple add-on, and while he might disagree he’s accepting the judgement and promising Patreon supporters they will not be charged for the cancelled project.
The original announcement was a plan for a fully voiced add-on that completely redesigned the game’s questing and storytelling to make it more engaging and more dynamic. You can see the whole shutdown video just below the break. It’s sad news for anyone looking forward to an improved questing experience to that degree, although there are add-ons which do wonders for improving the regular quest formatting.
