Yeah, that&#8217;s the sword. No\u2014really, Kubit said &#8220;Yeah, yeah. That&#8217;s the sword.&#8221; Look:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, yeah. That&#8217;s the Sword. Eagle-eyed viewers have identified that, and yeah, we&#8217;ve been thinking about the Sword and it should become very apparent to people as you play through Eclipse that we haven&#8217;t forgotten about the Sword. This is not something that is going away. Also, how tragically close it came to the Worldsoul is a testament to how close he came, but also maybe the power of the Worldsoul herself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"XPsfcFATNegu7bBN58mgAR\" name=\"wow sword soul\" alt=\"An image of Sargeras' sword nearly piercing the Worldsoul in World of Warcraft.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blizzard-finally-told-players-where-the-big-sword-in-wow-went-after-8-years-and-im-just-bummed-out-a-reveal-this-cool-was-in-an-interview-somewhere.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Blizzard)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;m bothered, somewhat, because on paper this is a super cool detail\u2014look at that thing. It came literally <em>feet <\/em>away from punching into the centre of the world, which would&#8217;ve corrupted the entire planet with fel magic. Per WoW cosmology, it would&#8217;ve also stopped the void lords from turning it into a Dark Titan, which was kind of Sargeras&#8217; whole deal. But it also would&#8217;ve killed everybody, so\u2014too many eggs for that omelette. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m imagining a world in which I dropped into this zone for the first time, saw that sword-tip inches away from Azeroth&#8217;s soul, and went: Oh, crap. We were this close to the end of the world. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep things vague for spoiler reasons, but Final Fantasy 14\u2014which keeps story elements under wraps before the patch or expansion they&#8217;re due comes out\u2014is really good at this. At several points in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/final-fantasy-14-is-a-400-hour-plus-epic-you-can-share-with-your-friends-and-im-not-sure-well-see-anything-like-it-again\/\">winding 10-year story<\/a>, a vista or an environment pulls double duty as part of the narrative: Like an impossible glimmering city under the ocean, or a heartachingly gorgeous faery landscape in a dying world.<\/p>\n<p>But WoW doesn&#8217;t do this. It tests patches for weeks on the PTR with preview cutscenes and, as mentioned above, it reveals huge overarching narrative beats during interviews and press conferences\u2014which robs Blizzard of a pretty solid tool in its arsenal: Letting the environment show you the story.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than having an &#8220;oh, shit!&#8221; moment when I saw this sword while in Midnight&#8217;s final raid, and slowly piecing it together, I have instead been told in a quote by a director that I will, in a handful of months, see exactly what he said I&#8217;d see. And, listen\u2014even though I&#8217;ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/world-of-warcraft\/world-of-warcraft-midnights-stay-a-while-and-listen-monologues-mightve-just-heavily-hinted-at-a-future-big-bad\/\">impressed by some elements of Midnight&#8217;s story<\/a>, it&#8217;s not exactly gripped my heart like FF14&#8217;s did. And as long as we live in a world where big reveals like this aren&#8217;t treated with much sanctity, it&#8217;s probably gonna stay that way. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"aa01c75c-b10e-11f1-88cc-ed056f3765ef\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best MMOs\" data-dimension48=\"Best MMOs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:316px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"UjCJY9gjRfatHZjCuGMrhR\" name=\"elden ring square cheer.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blizzard-finally-told-players-where-the-big-sword-in-wow-went-after-8-years-and-im-just-bummed-out-a-reveal-this-cool-was-in-an-interview-somewhere.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"316\" height=\"316\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-mmos\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"aa01c75c-b10e-11f1-88cc-ed056f3765ef\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best MMOs\" data-dimension48=\"Best MMOs\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best MMOs<\/strong><\/a>: Most massive<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-strategy-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best strategy games<\/strong><\/a>: Number crunching<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-open-world-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best open world games<\/strong><\/a>: Unlimited exploration<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-survival-games-on-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best survival games<\/strong><\/a>: Live craft love<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-horror-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best horror games<\/strong><\/a>: Fight or flight<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/world-of-warcraft\/blizzard-finally-told-players-where-the-big-sword-in-wow-went-after-8-years-and-im-just-bummed-out-a-reveal-this-cool-was-in-an-interview-somewhere\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a meme for eight years\u2014where&#8217;s the sword, Blizzard?
