If you played through Dawn of the Infinite, you’ve most likely seen the end cinematic with Iridikron, but the community has spotted another familiar face in there. The following post contains spoilers.

After briefly talking to Chromie about the titans, Iridikron with the Essence of Galakrond opens a void portal to an unknown location.

Whilst Iridikron is entering the portal, we briefly catch a glimpse of a Night Elf silhouette very similar to that of Xal’atath, as you can see below.

This looks like Blizzard is setting us up for a void-themed expansion using Iridikron as a bridge between expansions (similar to Gul’dan) with Xal’atath playing an unknown role as well.

If you played in Legion and Battle for Azeroth, you’ve most likely remember Xal’atath as a sentient entity tied to the Priest Artifact Weapon.

In case you’ve missed the cinematic we’re talking about here, check out the following video to refresh your memory.
