Check Out the 14-Foot Version of Warcraft's Lich King That Now Resides in Taiwan

Blizzard turns 25 this year, and it's marking the occasion by erecting a giant version of one of Warcraft's most memorable characters, Arthas.

A 14-foot version of the Lich King that weighs 4,000 pounds can now be found at the Calligraphy Greenway, a tourist attraction in Taichung, Taiwan. You can check out photos of its construction in the gallery below.

Coinciding with the statue going up, Blizzard also highlighted an upcoming Heroes of the Storm skin for Arthas, who's one of the game's many playable characters. As seen briefly in a recent trailer looking at content currently in development, Mystic Kingdoms Arthas is based on Guan Yu, a famous Asian warrior. Blizzard says it's the result of a collaboration with Chinese partner NetEase Game and will be available in a bundle with the new Crimson Hare mount on July 26. You can get a look at the skin below.

2016 marks the 25-year anniversary of Blizzard, although it wasn't known by that name for the entire quarter-century. It started out in 1991 as Silicon & Synapse, later changing its name to Chaos Studio and ultimately becoming Blizzard Entertainment in 1994. One of its earliest games, The Lost Vikings, received a spotlight last year when its titular heroes were released as characters in Heroes of the Storm.
