“This entire city must be purged!” – when gamers hear this verdict in their heads, they hear Justin Gross, who lent his voice to Arthas Menethil in the original Warcraft 3.
In the new recording for “The Soul of Warcraft”, Gross contributes new narration and actively participates in this unique community retrospective.
