On our trip to London for the War Within alpha launch sumit we were given the chance to talk to Associte Design Director Maria Hamilton, and it's probably our favorite interview we've ever done!
Join us as we chat about the challenges of planning a narrative over three expansions in the World Soul Saga, where each expansion is at in terms of development, who Xal'atath really serves AND whether Azeroth is really a Titan or not!

*** THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS VIDEO FOR THE OPENING OF THE WAR WITHIN ON ALPHA*** Check the chapters to skip

Maria Hamilton is a gem. She seems to care so much about WoW.
-
"the world is the most important character" love that
-
"I think the world is the most important character" Oh man, WoW is in GREAT hands. I. Love. This. So. Much. I cannot wait for the story to unfold AHHHHHHHHH
-
Maria is so rad. She seems so witty and sharp, but also earnest and creative. Great to have her working at a high level to make the game great.
-
5 mins in, absolutely fascinating to hear her talk about them working on 3 expansions at once. It’s quite comforting honestly. Communication HAS to be a priority for something like this and im so glad they’re taking that seriously
-
"All lose when dalaran goes down" It's a phrase for a poster
-
I'm mostly a mythic raider that interacts with story very little, but when she said "I'm a big RP enjoyer"; I was like this shit is in good hands. What a perfect individual to be in control of the world as a whole; someone who finds joy in aspects of it that directly related to her job.
-
This was the most inspiring information, sincerity and confidence I've seen from Blizzard in a long time. Protect Maria at all costs. I want HER looking out for my interests for the next 20 years. 🥰
-
Maria was wonderful to listen to! I hope we get many, many more interviews with her
-
So glad we have someone like Maria Hamilton working on this game, she seems very passionate about it
-
Dude the confidence in the story that Maria has, it's hyping me up to EVEN BEYOND LEGION LEVELS. I've never been so hyped for a story in Warcraft like The World Soul Saga. I've been playing this game since 2006 and what I love the most about Warcraft as a franchise is the story and the lore and I can't wait for this and in the end in the Last Titan be so happy and so proud that I stood by this team and trusted in them. The hype is real.
-
I love how there not wanting to fit everything into one expansion and rush or cut content but instead let it breath and tell the full story I'm loving the 3 expansion previews.
-
TBH, it gives me a lot of hope for the game going forward that Maria and Chris are leading the charge.
-
i can't imagine the feeling of sitting next to someone who knows exactly what the story is going to be, but I have chills. When you asked about stakes, and Maria had that sly smirk, I just felt it in my bones. This is going to be great
-
"And I'm in charge of the world" - what a badass way to introduce herself :D Love the interview!
-
I love Maria Hamilton, she's the best. More of her!
-
Damn, this has me hyped. I love that they’re going to be able to tell a story arc over years instead of jamming it into a short patch. Let’s see if they can pull it off!
-
Honestly, 10 years from now, there needs to be a study on the trajectory of wow before and after this amazing woman joined the team. Every time she engages with us, every thing she had done, it breathes new fresh air into the series.
-
Maria: "IS she a baddie?" My heart: "Oh boy let's fucking gooooo"
