Warlords of Draenor In-Game Cinematics

The distant echoes of the Iron Horde’s war machine have already begun to reach the ears of Azeroth’s heroes. Soon, the journey into Draenor will begin in earnest—a journey filled with drama, tension, and momentous events that will shape the fate of this world.

To tell this tale, we’ve created more high-quality in-game cinematic footage for Warlords of Draenor than ever before—and as your story unfolds, these cinematics will illustrate some of the key moments of your adventure.

While we generally like to keep story beats like these a surprise, we know some players enjoy seeking out spoilers, and there are always plenty of people who find these files in the beta or on the PTR and share them. To help mitigate the potential for unsuspecting players to accidentally come across these and spoil their own adventure ahead of time, we’ve decided to go ahead and upload them ourselves—and provide plenty of caution and safeguards against watching them accidentally.

Of course, it goes without saying that we recommend you wait and watch these videos in-game as they were meant to be encountered—but if you choose to watch them here below, we hope you enjoy them, and only ask that you allow others to experience the story as they choose. Thank you for your continued excitement and passion for World of Warcraft, and we’ll see you in Draenor!

*What follows are the in-game cinematics that will play at various points during the Warlords of Draenor campaign. We encourage you to play the game and experience them in-context as you progress through Draenor—but if you decide to watch them now, don’t say you haven’t been warned!

    Sad to know that Ga'nar and Maraad dies... but it was a heroes death in combat.... but which Velen dies the main one or the alternate draenor one.... and guess I'm going to say it... Garrosh got mfing owned.... but no real answer of his death or imprisonment...

    and garrision titles would be nice, blizz.

    Holy flying saucer. Seriously, some of these cinematics are completely awesome. One of them in particular, but I guess if you watch them you'll know which one I'm speaking of.

    Those were all great.

    Yrel is awesome.

    The Nagrand ending has left me speechless, to be honest. I have no idea what to say about it.
    Not even sure if that's good yet

    What did Velen do to Yrel before he stepped into the shadow?

    Not really a good look on an orc. I liked him better when he was an unapologetic jackass in War Crimes. Garrosh has always been super inconsistent and I just hope he doesn't have any surprise offspring and we can just put his storyline to bed once and for all now.

    Garrosh cut scene was amazing!

    The Garrosh one leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. They did a good job at expressing Garrosh a bit, but Thrall saying that it's all Garrosh's fault is somewhat stupid. He should have at least taken some of the blame.

    Mark her as the new leader of their people, I imagine.

    really? u liked wrathgate? it is silliest blizards cinemetic ever ..like holywood american mobies...same words..same speeches...same pictures...same "on time" shit and everything else...this is much better...the 2 things that i didnt liked here is that thrall fights his own people/family and does not show any sighns of worry..like a robot he is...also...they showed marraad dies but didnt even showed for one moment orgrim doomhammer like he never existed

    Still wondering why Khadgar's eyes are normal looking in the cutscenes, yet have the standard Blizzard glow to them in-game.

    Otherwise, these were pretty great.

    Most of them surprised me, they are realy good.
    Blizzard is getting better, when we compare this to, say, Wrathgate.

    Got the same feeling too.

    Yeah, Thrall's last words were a bit on the Meh side.

    Saw only a few of them, but all gave me legitimate chills.

    I personally dont really mind it, it gave me a slight feeling of regret and sadness for losing his character.
