World of Warcraft Cataclysm: Worgen Confirmed As Playable Race for Alliance

The official presence of the werewolf-like Worgen as playable characters in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm has been confirmed by everyone and their mom, including Blizzard. Check out the official Cataclysm site for more details on the Worgen, including backstory, player models, screenshots and concept art. The official sites seem to be suffering periodic downtime as a result of all the interested visitors, so be gentle. Below are some locally-hosted (hi-res!) copies of the Worgen concept art, in case your refresh button isn’t working.

Looks like I’ll have to be deleting all of my characters to remake them all now…

ive always thought of WoW as a geeky game that i will die before i play. mind you i play tons of other MMOs and even MMORPGs, but did not want to stoop to WoW and Warhammer and RS and all of those. but since this “worgen” is implemented…..i might have to rethink my decisions. lmao. bring the cliched insults and fling em at me, im playin as a worgen dammit!

No Inu, no insults here, I can really relate
It is wierd though that they are alliance, and not horde, but I guess they just wanted to “even out” the level of monstrocity between alliance and horde.

It’s not like the Horde are just the “misfit toys” or something where they automatically get all the ugly races.
As humans, the Worgen from that area were part of the Alliance, it’s been in the storyline forever. Only makes sense for them to return.

Guys if worgen was put on horde and goblins on allience how much sence would that even make, none. Goblins have been pure horde since they relesed the game and as for worgens, Shadowfang keep explains that.

They look more like lions than wolves to me.

Their artwork isn’t 100% done. Blizz said their gonna add some features in the character creation thing specifically under facial hairs so they can look as rugged as you wish.

I notice they don’t have any art of female worgen. I kinda wanted to see what shape they were gonna make for them.

Yeah, the release for the Worgen had to be forseen. Sure, we may not have believed or in some cases wanted it, but it was only a matter of time before we saw their storyline plop into our lives.
The only question I have is how Cataclysm is going to affect the previous areas of Worgen. We’ve probably all done the Scythe of Elune quest at least once, if not more, and I’m sure everyone is wondering how it’ll be affected with the now playable race.

worgen are on alliance because they still think like humans….. and in a way still are human

From someone, can’t remember who, I was sent a photo (conceptual art) of what Blizzard was thinking of making the female worgen as. It looked more like a deer in the headlights with gigantic boobs. >.< I wish they would post what female worgens looked like, even in the video they made with new things to come, I saw only male worgens, yet there were a few female goblins. I hope they make a female worgen. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to say "Well, only male humans were compatible"..

Geez. People even get worked up about the things other people get irritated about.

I’ve never been one for the Alliance, I have ALWAYS played Horde, through and through. I stopped playing WoW over a year ago at that. When this comes out, me thinks I will be returning, and as alliance! lol.

I am beta testing the wow Cataclysm right now and can tell you that this expansion rockd hard… but at this time the female worgen is not finished. it looks more like a seal faced male but you can not tell what the human form looks like untill you log in. but none the less this expansion rocks…

I am so excited for the worgen, but i have been kinda confused. ive heard that they can change into humans, is this true? Even if they cant the worgens are still awesome and i cant wait to play them! <3
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:43 pm
for thouse of you who think they should go ali, i agree, ali needs more monsters, but is it logical? HELL NO!!! they undead wernt accepted because they were monsters and were against the alliance before they got freedom, same story with the worgen
but i still cant wait to play 1, im tho exthited
