Warlords of Draenor Release Date & Cinematic

We have a release date for Warlords of Draenor! November 13th, 2014. Blizzard today held a live-stream event at Ace Theatre in Los Angeles. Along with a release date, we also got to see the Warlords of Draenor Cinematic & the debut clip in Blizzard’s new animated mini-series: Lords of War. You can see both here: 

Pre order your Warlords of Draenor and Warlord’s of Draenor: Collector’s Edition now!

Warlords of Draenor has been slated for release on November 13th, 2014. We’re excited, but it does mean we will have been in patch 5.4 with the same content for 14 months (429 days) – a long time for burn out and no doubt the reason for some of the decline in subscribers. Nevertheless.

This cinematic, in my opinion, has definitely lived up to the standard that Blizzard has set in delivering great cinematics for expansions. To think they’re creating a live action film to be released in the next couple of years is very exciting! Sometimes I can’t help but think they could have created the whole thing in CGI and I’d still watch it!

It contains some great animation and some interesting lore aspects. Of course, I don’t want to ruin it for you so take a look below!

Here is the Warlords of Draenor Cinematic:

Before the Warlords of Draenor release, live realms will updated to the pre-expansion patch where we’ll be able to try out all our healers and see how they fair up with the changes. This patch is said to be coming “over the next few weeks” so it will be good to have some new “content” while we wait for Warlords of Draenor.

In addition to changes to the skills and abilities for every class, this patch will introduce brand new features such as 20-player Mythic-difficulty Siege of Orgrimmar, as well as systems adjustments including stat squish and diminishing returns on crowd control. The next chapter in the World of Warcraft saga is coming at you armed to the teeth.

Blizzard has also released the first of their new animated series: Lords of War. Part One, which gives you a bit of a history lesson. It starts with an in-game cinematic with Varian and Vindicator Maraad(with his big purple mace) – this is the best in-game cinematic quality we’ve seen so far in my opinion, probably due to the updated models. It then changes to the sketched animated style that we saw in Mists of Pandaria stories as we see the struggles of Kargath. Take a look below:

They’ve also put together some footage of in-game features coming in Warlords, including Zones, Dungeons, Raids, PvP, Garrisons and New Character Models. I’m starting to get excited about it that’s for sure!

Honestly, we’re getting really excited about the amount of promise this expansion is showing and we think this one could be even better than Mist of Pandaria!

In other news, while Blizzard is hard at work with their new expansion, we’re also hard at work with a site re-design, hopefully making the site easier to use for all healers with some community engagement, so keep an eye out for that!
