World of Warcraft: Crossroads Anthology Updated with New Cover Art

Posted 2025/04/16 at 11:22 AM by Portergauge

After witnessing the fall of Dalaran and braving the depths beneath Khaz Algar, the heroes of Azeroth face an uncertain future. Across the world, old hatreds are rising and Xal’atath remains at large, at work on her own machinations. But even amidst a tide of chaos and fear, hope remains.

Join Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, Renzik the Shiv, Faerin Lothar, Alleria Windrunner, and the Locus-Walker in this new collection of novellas and short stories that provide deeper insight into the powers at play and the battles still to fight following The War Within. These tales serve as a reminder that Azeroth’s fate is shaped by the sacrifices and struggles of all, and that even small, quiet actions can echo large throughout history.

Comment by GilneanRavenLooking forward to reading this, but a November release date feels a little late in the expac cycle for what seem to be stories that would essentially set the stage for the War Within. I would have liked to learn more about these characters and their motivations at the start of the expansion, not at the end. I had a similar issue with War of the Scaleborn; very good book, would have liked to have seen it sooner.Comment by CiriGreat art!Comment by EldritchBoltThe Crossroads is under attack!Comment by loudskiesLooking forward to reading this, but a November release date feels a little late in the expac cycle for what seem to be stories that would essentially set the stage for the War Within.

So we have them available when relevant.

I'm definitely interested in all of these.Comment by PlaidiatorGood thing we have Jaina to be the round-ear diversity checkbox. Haha I like the stories but why not tell them in-game somehow?Comment by TyneicWhy are Horde characters always used even though they don't play a role?

As someone who's been playing TWW so far all I've seen is us making friends with everyone. The description makes TWW sound way more serious than it actually is.
