With World of Warcraft’s Wrath of the Lich King Classic embarking on a full-fledged launch with the start of beta testing, the original Wrath of the Lich King “Building Azeroth: Northrend,” the first part of a video series that tells the story behind its creation, has been released.
World of Warcraft Team Art Director Ely Cannon (Art Director), Senior Level Designer Sarah Boulian Verrall (Lead Level Designer), and Overwatch Game Director Aaron Keller (Overwatch Game Director) Reminds me of the days when a total of three veteran Blizzard developers were developing Wrath of the Lich King.
Through this video, you can take a look at Northrend’s design method, various components, and technological challenges at the time, which is an important place that completes the world of World of Warcraft and is the birthplace of outstanding characters such as Arthas Menethil. It will be a good opportunity to look at the memories and inspirations of the development team that were built in the process of creating various regions.
The video can be viewed on the official World of Warcraft YouTube channel, and additional series will be released in the second half of the year, starting with this first episode.
