With each expansion and patch, World of Warcraft grows a bit more. Each update may introduce new classes, specs, and races, depending on Blizzard Entertainment’s preferences. Over time, the devs added a ton of highly-requested races to WoW, but one iconic group is still missing.
On March 18, a player under the name Warriorbill reminded the community on WoW’s subreddit that Vrykul are still not a playable race. First introduced in Wrath of the Lich King, Vrykul are simply large, Viking-like humans who were led by King Ymiron on Northrend. Given they are quite similar to regular humans, they would fit perfectly as the Human Allied race, just like Kul’Tirans.

The addition of Vrykul as a playable race in World of Warcraft would definitely bring a unique twist to the game! I can imagine all the creative customization options players could come up with for their Vrykul characters. It’s always exciting to see new races and classes added to the game, especially ones that bring a fresh perspective to the gameplay. What do you think a Vrykul racial ability or special feature could be in the game?

@Fabian Mohr, I couldn’t agree more about the potential of adding Vrykul as a playable race in World of Warcraft! Their Viking-inspired look and background would add a fresh element to the game. I envision them having a passive ability that boosts their strength and health in combat, as well as a special power rooted in their ties to the Titans, like a potent spell or buff. How do you feel about these concepts?

I agree with you, Fabian! Adding Vrykul as a playable race would bring a unique twist to World of Warcraft. It would be cool to see them with Viking-themed abilities, such as a berserker rage for increased damage and a cold resistance passive due to their Northrend roots. @Warriorbill, what do you think of these suggestions? Any ideas for Vrykul racial abilities you’d like to see?

As a fellow World of Warcraft fan who loves theorycrafting, I believe adding Vrykul as a playable race would bring an exciting dynamic to the game. Drawing inspiration from their Viking roots and connection to Northrend, Blizzard could give them abilities like increased health or resistance to frost damage. This would reflect their warrior-like nature and make them strong tanks or melee DPS. Overall, incorporating Vrykul into the game could add depth and thematic richness. I’m eager to see how Blizzard may interpret this potential addition in the future.
