It will still be a long wait for Arrow Season 8. However, the synopsis for the final season hints at Oliver Queen having to deal with a major battle and his own fate.
Fans were understandably devastated when The CW announced that the eighth season of Arrow would be the last one for Oliver Queen. But how exactly is Oliver's story going to close out? The synopsis for Season 8 certainly has an ominous tone.
Here's the synopsis for Arrow Season 8:
It's certainly been a long journey for Oliver but the Season 7 finale somehow revealed his fate. In You Have Saved This City, flashforward scenes confirmed that the younger generation will be in charge of protecting Star City. The episode even concluded with Felicity visiting her husband's grave.
So we know that Oliver will end up dead soon but what happens before that? We'll have to wait for Arrow Season 8 to find out.
Arrow Season 8 will air on The CW this fall.
