BlizzCon | Opening Ceremony | World of Warcraft

[@everybodylieshm]

Seeing Metzen again just made me happy. Glad he's back! Great opening ceremony.

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

Did you notice how clearly emotional he got? Awesome.

[@mausilugner6637]

The way Metzen makes everyone else look like extras with his presence is simply incredible.

[@JB-xl2jc]

It's not even that they did poorly, they were fine. It's just that Metzen is that great- knows the topic, genuinely has passion for it and has for decades, and always seemed genuine.

[@crimsontrickster]

Metzen got louder applause than the whole opening ceremony altogether.

[@ghostlightplays]

Hearing Metzen speak again about Warcraft gives me hope for Wow and maybe actually play again.

[@Turican76]

your clueless. WoW is good.

[@senbonzakurakageyoshi662]

It's good, yeah, but not for everyone@@Turican76

[@vladislavaukraine]

nope

[@RobertPearsonJr]

No one can tell the story of Warcraft the way he can.

[@cocs88715]

Yes they really needed Metzen back to pull this off!! We know the stage fear you have Metzen, so thank you thank you for carrying it through!

[@deathbyname23]

started to tear up after he said its time to come home

[@DaniXP19]

12:05 Was the best part of BlizzCon for me. Terenas once said "No king rules forever" except he was mistaken: Chris Metzen was, is and always will be the King of (World of) Warcraft! HAIL TO THE KING BABY!

[@ironknight84]

Hearing Chris live in blizzcon y a blessing, me being there in person in the blizzcon, achievement unlocked

[@drakozash8153]

Its like Dad is back from buying milk after 10 years.

Return of the King! Good job BlizzCon showing love for Papa Metzen!

[@enigmabis.]

This was the best Blizzcon in the last 4 years for sure

[@AkiRa22084]

C virus ruined so many gaming companies. Blizz might just pull themselves up.

[@EasoLV]

Very funny. The part with Metzen? Yes. But everything else, common.

[@ValkyrionX2]

World of Warcraft Con? yes. D4, OVW2 and Hearthstone? well sad for those games.

[@AkiRa22084]

@@ValkyrionX2 Those three got 2 expansions and new char. What else were you expecting?

[@goblinounours]

@@AkiRa22084 I'd call them "meh". Blizzard knows it, which is why they front-loaded them and kept the 'good stuff' (ie 'World-Soul Saga') for last.

[@Warhorse469]

Every memory that's was created within World of Warcraft over the past 20 years we all owe it Metzen it's so great to have him back ❤

[@thewalrus45]

God no one can do HYPE MAN stuff like Metzen.

[@JoeNovacks]

so many amazing memories when Chris Metzen speaking to older blizzcon's and finaly yes he's Back!So now it's the time to play world of warcraft,and that is for real!!Tnx god you listen my prays!

[@darynamangeldiyev7493]

“Now is the time to come home” 🥺

[@h.3.x]

Seeing this made my heart sing. It feels like I'm thrown back in time with the feeling this evoked in me! I'm now, truly, excited to see what Warcraft will become with Metzen back. ♥

[@44fruitella44]

I'm happy that Chris Metzen came back. He loves warcraft, most of old expansions were his idea and they worked.

[@xxargonautxx9790]

It’s so blizzcon with Chris out there speaking to us. GEEK IS!!!

[@Agonius]

This was the best Blizzcon in many years. Thank you for all of the hard work!

[@Avaelon]

Bruh, no new announces like W4, no news from survival ip that Blizz announced before, no remasters comin, just small updates and WoW stole the entire show. They should rename it WoWcon or MetzenCon 2023.

[@Cakalank]

@@Avaelon huh? WoW was always the main stage in blizzcon. it's their biggest game. where were you for the past 15 years?

[@senbonzakurakageyoshi662]

Wasn't always the casse, but yeah@@Cakalank

[@oktober-vh6gl]

sorry bruh, no one plays Lost Vikings any longer... get over it.@@Avaelon

[@drpeppaerdrpeppaer5434]

It really wasn't

[@Chemicgen1]

METZEN!!!!!!!!! MY HERO!!! BRING WoW BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY!!!!!!

[@frankcastle9691]

Not going to happen, he's only back for Dat money.

[@Marie28081]

That fun bit where Anduin looks just like The Lich King when bringing his sword out...goosebumps!

[@Hatrian95]

Metzen is legendary and fill my heart with hope for Warcraft, welcome back!!

[@Kagarin05]

Grats to Hurricane for making the main cinematics now for wow :) And of course, CHRISS!!!

[@derekisazombie39]

You couldn’t ask for better leaders of WoW, Holly and Chris are MMO legends.

[@filthycasual8187]

Let's be real everyone. 12:05 is what we all came here for.

[@Owl_Knight98]

Yes! ❤

[@MarkusJevring]

Metzen really just did this whole thing in Thrall's voice, didn't he...

[@Mandrarine]

So glad to see Metzen back! Please please please let this really be the Blizzard storytelling redemption arc...

[@roflBJ]

Thats the direction we like to see. Seriously considering getting back and tbh Metzen would sell me even the horse pond. GJ

[@vladoz9299]

Got to say, that animation with Thrall and Anduin looked so real!!

[@batliff]

Way to play on those emotions, well done.

[@Srsbzns_5150]

Chris Metzen coming back feels like wow's soul has returned 😊

[@EdwinHeida]

Gorgeous cinematic. I''ll check out the expansion(s) for sure.

[@Galvick143]

It all sounds epic, and amazing to have Chris back! But it also sounds hella expensive...

[@mihneaadr]

They got Microsoft money now

[@darklaur5566]

Welcome back chris, now the game will realy get back to the way it was before

[@KonaFocus]

Finally, lore may work its way back into WoW.

[@Nerazmus]

Lore was always there. It just got too complex for some people.

[@Mortiferous89]

Welcome back to the stage metzen! god we've missed you!

[@julio4771]

With Bobby gone and Metzen back I'm strongly considering returning to Azeroth.

[@radiationwow]

Happy to have Metzen back

[@Xenomorph1508]

Chris Metzen is the GOAT

[@Soldruid]

Metzen return just makes me so happy❤

[@zelashizzz1278]

Been playing since '05... hard to believe it's been that long..

[@Florptv]

Metzen, my king, my warchief

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

Chris has always been Blizzard's rockstar!

[@Ina9158]

Thank you Chris Metzen😭❤️

[@txtardis7887]

Welcome back Metzin !! You have been Missed!!

[@heather9857]

Really excited for warbands and hero talents.

[@reecegarysmith7613]

Midnight and the last titan are gonna be amazing hope they put effort in and revamp them zones

[@Desperado070]

They did one thing right, get the captain back on the ship. GGWP

[@irethena]

The prodigal son has returned, we love you Metzen! ❤

[@elementSe34]

24:00 Does anyone know what the dude in the background is saying, please?

[@JohnKurtz840]

Remove the sword out of silithus please

[@ArcadeStunfisk]

Except he pronounces it “slith-us” 😄

[@navyflyboy07]

The Army of the Light stands ready to fight alongside you once more my King!! For the Light!! For Azeroth!!

[@Elathar007]

Chris Metzen Entrance was better than any WWE Wrestling Entrance... HE IS BACK !!!!

[@jaylowry4082]

Anyone else picture Thrall giving the announcements every time Metzen spoke?

[@Saurus990]

12:00 dad's back with milk and cookies

[@RafaelOSilva-de5td]

Metzen just came in like Jesus in that vídeo Jesus’ Betrayal from Ethereal Snake, beating the haters out of blizzcon. Blessed Metzen 🙌

[@Dr.Johnboy]

"Now is the time to come home!"

[@borisfrlic]

Metzen is Warcraft.

[@ghostshell438]

The 14th expansion is Hello Kitty Island Adventure ofcourse.

[@Lukas_Cuba]

Love You Guys!🎉

[@catherinewright4520]

Metzem is WarCraft , amazing showman, love it

[@velcoro4754]

God bless you Blizzard , thanks all team , love you

[@Uouttooo]

Metzen: You are called to do what you have always done: . . . . . . . . . . . farm 20 wild boar hearts.

[@plyazarhasil4720]

Metzen! ❤Anduin with his sword like Arthas! 💙

[@TMD4-4]

So yeah it's safe to assume that if everything goes right, based on the way Metzen talked, this saga will be the transition to wow 2. I'm excited about that idea and hopefully it happens and this saga gets enough players to convince whoever is in charge.

[@aguraki]

if anyone can turn WoW's story around its Metzen.

[@fertuzenok]

WELCOME HOME MY GREATEST WARCHIEF

[@ChairmanMeow1]

It simply makes me hopeful that Metzen is back

[@Sardok491]

24:40 , starts the good part

[@fairycat]

Keep going... Amazing work.

[@user-fv7jd4xj5n]

24:00 what is the guy saying in the background?

[@darknight991]

“Remove the sword out of Silidithis please” To which Metzen replied “In time, my friend. In time. And it’s called Silithus”.

[@Halibut86]

Super ironic considering it's the centerpiece of the next expansion. Likely, the reason we've heard about the sword recently is from leakers.

The father of Warcraft and the voice of Thrall is back! So nice to see Chris Metzen rejoin Blizzard again.

[@Furycain]

So...no wotlk-only servers :? Sadge...one of their best expansion deserves Wotlk-Only servers.

[@allyowl]

What did that person yell that made Chris say "in time my friend" ?

[@johnmelling1693]

Perhaps Sargeras knew more than we think when he plunged the sword into Azeroth...

Thank you

Great Metzen back😊
