Deathwing resurrection?

I really don’t know alot about the lore about Deathwing and the other famous dragons, so this thought just crossed my mind and i wondered if is a possibility for Deathwing to be brought back to life again in the new expansion?

Did somebody say zombie dragons?

I don’t think it’s possible. By the time we killed Deathwing nothing was left of him, N’zoth and Old God corruption consumed and destroyed all that was him.

Is it a possibility? Yes.
Is it likely to happen? Maybe. Maybe not.

Blizzard do have a tendency to bring back iconic characters from death, because they’re iconic. And the lore of Warcraft has often found ways to undo the finality of death wherever it has been convenient to the story.

And if the next expansion is called Dragonflight and it is about dragons, then one of the elephants in the room is definitely Deathwing.

The whole crux of a dragon-themed expansion is that we’ve already had one. Cataclysm. So what’s the angle going to be? Are Blizzard going to make a bunch of new iconic dragons in an iffy, or are they going to look in the bin for some of their old ones?

It’s much easier to resurrect Deathwing and Malygos than it is to create new, mighty, powerful and iconic black and blue dragons.
And Blizzard sometimes tend to grab the easy option and fall back on their past successes. They’re fan favorites after all.

They can’t really bring him back without a massive retcon. His demise was so final that he was obliterated from all possible timelines. There’s nothing of him left to bring back.

True but that still doesant exclude his son from taking his fathers mantle.

We need a new villain.

Yes but Ysera didn’t go through the same thing, he was corrupted by Xavius, and was killed right after that.

In the Dragon Soul raid this is what you can read about the last boss: “Whatever was left of Neltharion the Earth-Warder is long gone, his mind and soul corrupted and devoured by his Old God masters.”

I wish they would bring back Deathwing flying around Azeroth again. If only during the Timewalking experience.

I love Azula as a character from Avatar the last Airbender :D.

Honestly i wish they did bring him back even just for the timewalking deathwing deservers some screen time again.

Yes by Xavius but then in Ardenweald now she is free from corruption and normal.

Wasn’t Deathwing corrupted by old gods? :thinking: what’s the difference?

Deathwing was but Xavius used the power of the emerald nightmare to corrupt ysera to thwart malfurion cause he was jealous of him.

If you wanna resurrect a dragon then there’s Galakrond. Yeah he’s a proto dragon but still.
