Don't you put that evil on us

I think this may be real. In 11.2, I believe Ve'nari mentioned there was something in the Maw which she knew the Void feared. Who would know the Maw best but the Jailer? 11.2 also seems to incorporate a lot of pieces from Shadowlands. Logically, it's also a smart play from Xal to empower the Jailer to do her dirty work, which ups the ante.

I even think that in Blizzard's Gamescom announcement art, there's a shadow in the background that looks suspiciously like the Jailer.

[Bwgmon]

I mean, I can tell you it's probably fake simply because whoever prompted it missed that the Jailerbot's chin is separate and gold.

It looks like whatever generator they used just threw out the Jailer's head in favor of like, a regular human head. It also looks like it has ears, and it replaced the black hoses or whatever they were that fanned out around his neck with... nothing, and slapped a high collar on him.

[Bwgmon]

I can't wait to play Boliver and Company.

That's the thing. Bolvar was THE quintessential champion of the light, besides his Fording, before his fall.

Bringing the Jailer back reintroduces the lich kings foil.

Could this actually be the WRATH OF THE BOLVAR???

Yeah, I'm guessing they just Image 2 Image'd some screenshot of the body.

Spoiler: 

Anyway, probably fake.

Definitely fake tbh, they probably took the model from model viewer/wowhead, rotated it and threw it on a background, then had the AI reimagine it 'as a photorealistic warcraft cinematic' or something, edited it to have that blizzard entertainment presents on it, and took a picture of their monitor for good measure

I'll eat my own hat if this is real, its just bait lol

[Nightshade711]

Shadows of the Midnight Voidlands: Wrath of the Jailer

New Races: High Elves, Ethereals, Naga, Bolvar's Chosen

New Classes: Astromancer, Necromancer, Bolvurmancer

New Zones: Eversong Woods, The Ghostlands, Last Grasp of the Amani, Sunwell's End and Bolvir's Bounty.

New Game Features:

The Bestiary - each type of enemy in the game now has a rare chance to drop trophies that can be traded in to unlock housing furniture and lore entries.

Plunderstorm - it's back and this time you can choose to play as the various heroes and villains from Jaina and Arthas to Kael'thas, Azshara and Bolvur.

Delves - returning, as expected and promised. The new seasonal companion is Bilvar.

New Hero Talents - Every class in the game receives a new void themed spec courtesy of a pact forged with Xal'atath and Bovril.

There's much more, but I do not want to spoil too much of the surprises that await.

Yo finally a real leak

I hope that you are right.

I REALLY hope that you are right and that Blizzard wouldn't fucking dare to bring the Jailer back.

Although I posted a while back that Xal'athat attacking the SL first, followed by Outland, before going to Azeroth, would make sense.

Anyway, let's hope that it's just AI.

We do have that leak about Outland being gone in Midnight and those peoples needing a new home.

[Darkarath]

I must have missed that one.

But is not that original. We all know that Outland hasn't show any sign of improvement over the years. Quite the opposite. Their inhabitants coming to Azeroth would be cool actually, helping bringing new life to both the EK and Kalimdor. Combine that with the amount of Naaru that are there and it would make perfect sense to have Xal'athat going after Outland first.

So... World revamp?

[Dvalin]

I doubt any of the current Midnight leaks are true.

[Lorca]

For me it all comes down to what comes to the zone once the time-gating ends. The bottom left corner of the map really does look like its missing something that will be added later.

It has probably already been mentioned, but what if that empty area is filled with the Eco-dome Al'dani dungeon?

[Khaza-R]

Reviving the Jailer just makes no sense to me. Voidifying a Titan, sure. But like what use would he have to Xal'atath

Kudos though to whoever made the image. This is what leak season is all about.

The jailer is an eternal one thus the death equivalent of a titan. Did we ever figure out why that in the past the Void invaded the Shadowlands for? Could it be the void thought it be easier to convert an eternal one than a titan at one point but eventually just gave up & swapped to titans instead? I dont think the Jailer himself is returning If he does I think he'll just be used as a vessel not the actual return of him

[Thros]

I don't know how people get revival from the picture when it's making use of a cosmic body capable of containing that "This is raw power" as Locus Walker said, and Alleria said Xal'atath seeks to become the next all-devouring. To do that, you need access to a First One workshop, and taking a Death one just makes sure the rule of the void lord needing excess energy to remain in reality is out of the board.

More or less, the chronicle finally could have some truth for Void seeking a Void Titan to be able to roam the reality freely.

But again, it doesn't really make sense. He died in Zereth Mortis. There's other copies or him and other Eternal Ones if all they need is a vessel.

If she was going to go through all that trouble why not just break into Zereth Ordus and create a Voidan'thul or Voidgeras?

[THEORACLE64]

I doubt any of the current Midnight leaks are true.

Expansion reveals really do bring out the dipshits in people.

[Nymrohd]

I don't like where these leaks are going. I want out.

[The-Shan]

I don't like that people are engaging with this obviously fake Jailor leak and falling for the bait, i guess thats a sign about how weak leak season is that we're jumping on the first fake screenshot we see, maybe I need to make a proper fake leak and a burner account that isnt clear and obvious trolling

Where did the artistry go? :^(

[blaatschaap]

That big one with the spellbreaker stuff is super fake since they didn't mention spellbreaker hero talent tree names
