April Fool’s: Bard Hero Class Announced For WoTLK

Blizzard celebrates April Fool’s Day with a two-hit combo announcement: bringing World of Warcraft to consoles via Molten Core and introducing the Bard, a new hero class for Wrath of the Lich King. It even set up elaborate pages to support the news, looking effectively convincing to people who haven’t seen a game (or a joke, for that matter) in a long time.

The deeds of every great hero inspire countless songs of triumph, virtue, and epic adventure. But although a hero’s glory endures in song, the creators of those songs are seldom remembered. After ages spent singing of the heroic exploits of others, the bards of Azeroth are finally stepping into the spotlight on their own terms, proving once and for all that while just about anyone can pick up a sword or cast a spell, only a true hero can vanquish evil with the power of ROCK!
