The Middle-earth Shadow of War San Diego Comic-Con 2017 live stream from 20th July was absolutely fantastic, despite the poor sound quality. The fan-favorite Az-Laar was a part of the live stream too! How? Darin de Paul, voice of Emperor Valkorion form Star Wars The Old Republic game and many other famous video game characters, was a special guest for the panel.
I, as a big fan of SWTOR, of course love Darin’s work and his voice-overs for Bioware’s MMO were all top level. In Shadow of War I too, like everybody else, loved Az-Laar from the first moment he appeared in a gameplay trailer for the upcoming game. Az-Laar is voiced by none other, but Darin de Paul himself. His performance live in front of the audience during the panel in this year’s San Diego Comic-Con was stunning. You can tell this man loves his job!
In the gameplay portion of this event, random players got a chance to show-off their skills in a special mission featuring Celebrimbor, who had to kill orcs and compete with Drakes. The secret to this mission is to use Shadow-Mount and various ranged abilities to teleport yourself quickly form one location to another as well as utilize the exploding barrels and fire places available all over the place.
Take a look at the full panel in the official video from Monolith below.
