World of Warcraft: The War Within gets a new 2D cinematic, reminds us that Xal'atath is an ancient knife piloting a corpse puppet for kicks

World of Warcraft: The War Within's story is shaping up to be, against all odds, actually kinda neat. While Dragonflight had its ups and downs, it marked a lean away from the 'big guy in armour saying pitiful mortal at you before teleporting away' storytelling of Shadowlands and into, well, characters that actually talk to each other like people.

That, combined with WoW taking a leaf out of FF14's book and making its dungeons and raids soloable and a part of its main story, means there's the opportunity for Blizzard to do some really neat stuff despite its messy legacy. My curiosity has tilted into optimism.
