Worgen players, its time to finally reclaim Gilneas
Blizzard Entertainment is certainly starting 2024 with a bang forWorld of Warcraft. We’re getting new quests that will send off the storyline of Dragonflight, NPC allies to help players tackle dungeons solo, Dragonriding will be made available worldwide so we can travel in style, and most importantly, players will finally be able to help King Greymane retake Gilneas.
For those unaware, Gilneas was the home kingdom of the Worgen playable race. The Worgen are humans who were cursed into becoming werewolves when Scourge invaded Gilneas during the events of Warcraft 3. Then, later on, the Worgen joined the Alliance out of desperation because they were driven out of their kingdom by the Forsaken faction during the events of 2010’s World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion.
Fourteen years later, Worgen players will at long last be able to reclaim their home in Seeds of Renewal update and gain closure for the long years they had to wait for this pivotal moment.
