World of Warcraft is partnering with the Google-owned GPS navigation app Waze for the game’s 20th anniversary, giving the option for users to be guided along their route by the voice of (former) Horde warchief Thrall, alongside visual options for both the Alliance and Horde.
Though Thrall’s voice navigation is only available for English speaking users, he is voiced by his original voice actor, Warcraft executive creative director Chris Metzen. Those who use Thrall’s voice navigation will get to hear the Orc leader describe making a U-turn as “a clever strategy to fool any pursuers on our tail” or offer his wisdom that being stuck in heavy traffic is “not the end of the world.”
To activate Thrall in Waze, users can click “pick a sidekick” on the main menu and select the “Drive with World of Warcraft” option. From there users can activate Thrall’s voice in voice directions.
