World of Warcraft’s Warchief Thrall now available as a voice guide on Waze
World of Warcraft enthusiasts can now add a touch of their favorite game to their daily commutes, thanks to a new collaboration between Waze and the popular gaming franchise. Warchief Thrall, one of the most recognizable characters from the Warcraft universe, is now available as a voice guide within the Waze navigation app.
Thrall offers practical guidance during your drive, providing directions with phrases inspired by his character. For instance, when you encounter heavy traffic, Thrall suggests, "breathe -- this is not the end of the world." Even a simple U-turn becomes more immersive with his Warcraft-flavored directions: "a clever strategy to fool any pursuers on our tail."
