As WoW: Forever releases, we're talking about promotions that cut across Blizzard's franchises. While we might expect say, purchasing a companion pet in retail WoW to perhaps also give you a similar pet in WoW Classic, we've also seen cross-promotions where you get a pet in WoW by buying a Diablo expansion, and tons of quests and vignettes referencing other Blizzard games. There's also Heroes of the Storm, a smorgasbord of cross-IP interactions and easter eggs, where you can play as Tracer from Overwatch in a StarCraft Spectre uniform riding a tiny glittery unicorn.
The Lore Watch team discuss these cross-franchise interactions -- whether they enjoy them, or if they seem corny and immersion-breaking. Do we like cross-game rewards as a little perk, or do they feel bad and compulsory?
Plus, does anybody know where we can find Mankrik's Wife? I mean, we know where to find her of course. We just want to make sure you know where to find her.
If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer your lore that way).
