RELATED: World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Release Date Confirmed With Gamescom Trailer While Uther met his untimely end inside of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, the Afterlife animated series reveals that his story doesn't end there. For most Warcraft players and fans, Uther is known more for his murder at the hands of his pupil, Prince Arthas Menethil, who would go on to become the dreaded Lich King. The first animated story focuses on Uther the Lightbringer, former Alliance Paladin and leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
The first animated short called Afterlife shows players what happens to a person's soul after they die in this universe. The Opening Night livestream hosted by Geoff Keighley showcased a ton of new games, surprise reveals, and even included a new announcement for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
Unlike E3 which completely canceled its show this year, Gamescom took its typically massive event and moved it online. The annual show Gamescom looked a little bit different this year due to the global pandemic that has taken hold this year.
