In thenewWorld of Warcraftcommercial, the three stars show off their dragon-taming skills in short, funny skits. Pascal brings the cameraman to a jet hangar, where he introduces P.J., his personal riding dragon. Harbour’s has him showing off Hollywood’s “secret” to making big VFX shots using the dragon fire from his proto-drake. Lastly, Condor runs alongside an adorable dog as she plays a massive game of catch with her own drake. Each of the stars has an individual short commercial of their own, butWorld of Warcraftshared a cut of all three ads together for players to enjoy.
The three celebrity commercials show off three of the four types of Dragonriding companions: the ptero-dragon, proto-dragon, and drake respectively. Once theyunlock Dragonriding inDragonflight, players will be able to unlock and customize their personal dragon companion from any of these types of dragons or the wyvern. With tons of different options players can unlock throughout the expansion, it is unlikely any two Dragonriding companions will be exactly the same.
Players were immediately charmed by the newWorld of Warcraftcommercial.Celebrity appearances in MMO adsare something of a time-honored tradition, and now Pascal, Harbour, and Condor join the ranks of Mr. T, William Shatner, and Chuck Norris in the hall-of-fame of hilariousWorld of Warcraftcommercial cameos. Players couldn’t help but see the stars in their famous roles, and wondered what their characters would do if they had dragons in their shows.
World of Warcraftplayers won’t have to wait long to get their own dragon inDragonflight. Dragonriding is unlocked shortly after arriving at the Dragon Isles, so players can look forward to customizing their own drakes as soon as the servers go live.
World of Warcraftis available on PC.Dragonflightlaunches November 28.
