Big boost to the squish and revamp. DKs probably start at level one now. No impact on heritage armor.

[threads]

probably just some voice lines for allied race's DK starting zone or something. they probably start off with bolvar instead of arthas.

[Life-Binder]

Lich King Bolvar or Lich Queen Sylvanas ?
or KelThuzad ?


or none of the above ?

[Sorgesh]

Imagine playing as a Pandaren DK and looking badass like in this Art:

My guess is something like this too. It's probably just a complete revamp of the DK starting zone, allowing for allied races to be included as it'll be current. Begs the question why more DK's are still being raised, but you could say the same about any other race tbh.

Who knows, with these devs any one of those is very well a possibility.

That picture just makes me wish WoW had a skin system like Heroes of the Storm. Like you can pick a "skin" and your spells and aesthetics change, throwing out flying green dragons as death coils is one of the most bad ass things I can think of lol.

There is zero indication of a new Lich King expansion. This hints that several Allied Races will receive Death Knights as a playable class, likely with a new starting zone experience with Bolvar instead of Arthas.

what is the lore excuse then ?

good guy Bolvar out here still raising fresh DKs from all ARs in 2019, long after Arthas is dead ? Anduin & Co sign off on this ?


or just ignore lore ?

Umm, have you done the Legion DK order hall quest line. All we did is raise DKs and kill things at his command. Bolvar is no longer the Bolvar he was when he was part of the Alliance.

Lich King will obviously play a part in a death themed x-pac with sylvanas

I mean, DKs are out there, raising people and dragons since legion.

[Pigglix]

I dont think its going to be a lich king expansion, more like a Death vs Void one, since void fear death and then we will have Sylvanas featured at blizzcon. That would explain raising new DK's. Also, dont the PC have power to raise new dk's anyway on their class quests?

Maybe next xpack will also be some sort of sylvanas being a raid boss or redeem arc.

Maybe it's not an entire revamp and just a Northrend + Queldanas revamp. I wouldn't get my hopes up although I'd love to have them finally revamp all of Azeroth.
