Hearthstone Game Director, Ben Lee, goes full Wrath of the Lich King cinematic in response to a comment on yesterday's Reddit AMA.
When asked if Hearthstone was planning on doing anything with Undead from World of Warcraft, Game Director Ben Lee pulled out the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic by quoting King Terenas Menethil II, Arthas' father. If you haven't seen one of the most incredibly nerd-chilling cinematics that Blizzard has put out, check it out below.
Now, either this is just Ben fooling around because we had Knights of the Frozen throne back in 2017, or this is a cryptic comment indicating something could be going on with Northrend, or at least the Undead that are chilling up there. Is it references to Shadowlands? Are we getting some new adventure with origins in Northrend? Is Ulduar going to be a thing finally in the near future? Undead update planned for Battlegrounds for Hallow's End? Tough call!
What do you think it all means?
Quote From Ben Lee are you planning anything that has to do with the undeads from world of warcraft
My son. The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name, Arthas. My child. I watched you with pride, as you grew into a weapon. Of righteousness. Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom, and strength. And I know that you will show restraint, when exercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you, shall be king.

Oh right, him.
You could give him a special line of dialogue if played against Hunters with the Sylvannas Windrunner portrait
Now that would be awesome. I love special character interactions in the game like that.
