The story behind OPs post seems like BS. However the picture itself is something I'm willing to believe in. In my years of reddit, mmo champ, wowhead, 4chan, and other website browsings I have not seen a picture like that. It's detail is amazing and exactly in-line with something that Blizzard would do. All of these fake leaks I have seen usually involve:
- Long written posts about the story and gameplay
- Alter the Blizzard logo to fit their leak "World of Warcraft: Revenge of Hogger"
However non of them have provided such a clear picture like that which is why I'm onboard with this. As for the eyes, we have no idea what is going on. Perhaps the cinematic itself wasn't finished? Maybe the picture was from earlier on in the developing of the cinematic? Could there be lore to show that the Lich King entity is taking over the body? There are a lot of questions and will only be answered when the cinematic itself is released.
