It evidently is. @Nebron claims it's a frame from the movie.

We can someone watch the movie and all it's gryphon scenes to confirm, lmao.

so many screenshots leaks popping up at the same time

Ah a man can dream...

It's a frame from Warcraft movie

That would also explain it: That is is an image of a moving object.

We’ve had plenty of talk regarding the location for next expansion, but what about the features!? Features you expect, not want!

- New class?
- New races(s), core or allied?
- New customisation?
- Class skins?
- New specs?
- The big selling point feature? I.e garrisons, class halls, artifact weapons, azerite armour, warfronts, island expeditions, torghast, dragon riding
- New / revamped professions such as archaeology?

I think new races, new specs and new customisation are highly likely.

I think there’s a chance we may finally get class skins.

I think archaeology will be updated.

I think we’re going to get something similar to torghast but reworked obviously.

I think we’re going to see the return of mage tower like content.

I don’t think a revamp is happening, I think that’ll be 12.0. When that does happen I think it’s likely we get the likes of player housing, racial “halls” & focus, and a new class (tinker or something like an explorer).

Found this after a cursory search. He's right.



I'm plainly less keen than I think I am. I did have some suspicions it might be a still from a movie, but deceived myself with the alignment of the wings.

Another box art leak just dropped. Pretty crazy.

AI is too stupid to make high quality logos. It struggles to even output coherent text half the time, and logos need strong intent, the thing AI is absolutely terrible at.

Blizzard missed the mark massively with N’Zoth. I always pictured a fight with him as being in the ocean, storms surrounding him, similar to his HS artwork. What we got was very underwhelming.

I’d also have loved for him to have used a humanoid avatar as well at times. Does anyone remember the pre-BfA leak season where there were a few leaks floating around stating that N’Zoth was using the guise of a known character to us and had been under our nose the entire time? With the popular theories being Wrathion and Nathanos.

Too clever an idea for an equally clever follow through, I'm guessing.

They likely don't belong to the earthen there, more than likely they're an elemental found near Khaz Algar.

You really are counting on them giving out a snow elemental for blizzcon, and a reskin of that same mount as the pre-order bonus? Rock Men riding Air Elementals? Nothing about that seems wrong to you?

retail= the events to retcon already happened. retconning them would be admitting failure and blizzard doesn't do that
classic+= the events to "retcon" never happened in the first place so there is no need to retcon anything

Classic stans are on a very specific kind of copium:

• Apparently, the game declining past its peak isn't simply the difference between when it was a fad versus settling into its core customers & a very slight decline is a bigger deal than retaining a huge loyal fanbase.
• Apparently, its the canon that is keeping people from playing retail, not the mechanics of the game
• Apparently, the developers who make bad retail expansions would make a good classic expansion

None of this makes any sense.

Definitely a bit unconvincing due to the asymmetries, but definitely more convincing than a fake logo would be. I think some of the weird metal bits, the fucked hands and and the asymmetry would tip people off if you tried to pass this off as official. Looks more like something from Hearthstone to me than a cinematic still or expansion promotional art; as I said, you'd need to go through a couple iterations and cite those in the prompts to pass this off as one or the other, and you'd need to use manual editing to hide the oddities.

Yup, that one. I knew I've seen this monstrosity couple of times thanks

They look fine from other angles. This is just a very, very bad angle, I think. It looks like an avian llama from some kind of awful speculative evolution fiction.
