Blizzard tends to not let a year go by without releasing a brand-new novel set on Azeroth. These Warcraft novels take many forms and serve many purposes for World of Warcraft's story. There are expansion prequel novels, retellings of in-game events, in-universe tales, stories set during expansions, and even history textbooks about Azeroth. These novels have provided some in-depth lore and much needed context for the greater Warcraft story, but they could be so much more.

One of the common criticisms that is levied against the Warcraft books is the fact that some very important lore has been relegated to this format.

While the novel can do a better job of explaining the events and giving players a look into the mind of various characters, there are some events that fans wish were present in-game. Blizzard may not be able to go back and add these events to World of Warcraft, but it could take the stories being told in the novels and create small-scale video game experiences instead. Doing so would not only help players visualize these stories, but it could also help to capitalize on the Warcraft brand while showcasing important events in Azeroth's history.
