New Halloween masks point to a new playable race?

by Zach Yonzon Jul 17th 2009 at 3:25PM

Here's an interesting tidbit from Scrolls of Lore, where they've dug up some files that could possibly hint at future playable races for the World of Warcraft. Remember that tidbit about Kalgan saying how Blizzard plans to "pre-seed" future playable races in the game before they actually become available? It's a different approach from the way they retconned Draenei into game.

Well, the folks over at Scrolls of Lore dug up some Halloween masks that have male and female Goblins - nothing new there - but a pair of werewolf, or Worgen, masks, as well. What's the curious thing about this? Well, we've never actually seen any female Worgen in the game, have we? Right. Well, there it is. A nice, pretty, green-eyed Worgen female mask. It may or not mean anything, of course, as these are just graphic files, or skins, placed on top of in-game models. But still... remember that Greymane Wall? Ever wonder why so many Worgen are outside of it? Remember how Blizzard hinted it would open up soon? Yeah. Just sayin'.

Many thanks to Tori for the tip! Also, Omacron links us to a blog stitching the faces together for a better look at the, uh, masks.

This also partially explains why Blizz went so crazy over the Worgen pet. It's not so much that it was a humanoid it's that it will be a future playable race.

Also, see "the list".

I know that has to be it, and that female Worgen looks kick ass, I cant wait to be able to play that race it we actually can.

I wish people would stop bringing up that fake list.

The list is the one true prophesy, also how do i change my commenting name?

Yep. Shrek and Fiona. That's what it looks like to me. That's more interesting the the crittery faces.

it seems to me that blizz is introducing either;
a. neutral races or
b. a new faction
either of these would be intresting

Or you know, people like to dress up like werewolves for halloween...

Why would Blizzard go to the trouble of making a brand new male Worgen face and a new, never before seen female Worgen face? This is an art team that never got around to making female Taunka at all, and further, when they re-did the art for forest trolls, they left the female trolls alone. So suddenly, they've decided to put this much time and effort into a couple of Halloween masks?
