If world revamp is true, they won't create tons of new assets for "Avaloren" AND for Azeroth.

On a more serious note, I think if anything here is going to fit the bill of "Underground" from what people were on about earlier, the First Screenshot would be it. That gives me the vibes. That and the snow zone. Both of those have topography that could lend itself to be partially above-ground and then for example heavy underground/cave stuff in the mountains in the back of the first one.
That is where these images being high quality comes into play. It gives the impression that they were found in a more curated collection, in which case this is a poor one for Blizzard to make.
As I said a couple of pages back. These could be part of a press kit of images to be used when making articles. However, if that is the case then it's monumentally bad luck to get the four images that reveal the least amount of info.
Imagine if this was DF, and none of the pictures showed a new dragon. None showed Waking Shore. None showed Valdrakken. None showed Tyrhold. Or really any other interesting feature. Instead all we got were stuff like Tuskarr in front of a tree, or one of the new eagles on top of a rock.
Imagine what horrendous luck it would be to only get the press kit pictures that don't show off any of the exciting locations that presumably exist in Avaloren, like Khaz Algar, or the crater where the world tree was.
The world revamp dream will never die!
XD hahaha
I'm almost serious!
World of dworfcraft is the anti hype for me
I'm sure the photoshop talent that made this masterpiece will show up soon

I wonder... Why this specific number of four screenshots were taken if this is a real leak from a video. Also why so low res
They've reused a lot of assets in the past to the point that when they've reworked some of them, the assets in the old zones were also updated aswell (like coffins).
But some details just makes me think that this a true leak, like the harpy channeling behind the tree you've shown. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 11.0 if the Storm of Avaloren leak is true as they're probably going to revamp some zones (Gilneas and Silvermoon).
And the Agg'orand dudes, the Dwarf-Ogres and their warring factions are literally just the Nokhud split into multiple tribes. You ally with the Harpies, maybe on Tribe of Aggo'dudes and then the others are the zone antagonists.

To quote Rathwell's wisdom from literally the top of this page were are currently on (1900).- Rathwell, being very blatantly logical in a hopium and copium Den.I mean, leakers don't really get to pick and choose what to leak, they can only leak what they have access to. If these zone photos are real it's not like a leaker would go, "Better not leak these, they're not sufficiently interesting". If boring zone photos is what Blizzard provides then that's all they can leak.
Yep, this and the other screens are the real leaks for me, look way too on point to be fake.
It can be fake for sure, but it reminds of dragonflight leak, we had the pics and everyone was saying it was fake even bringing ''proof" with photoshop shenanigans, or saying the style of the stone dude wasn't warcraft-ish. This look like the same case.
Plus those are in line with the other leak that said shaman to all races and a new spec for DH

While I kinda see your point, though I have to point out that the first pic paints these pictures as stills from the feature trailer. Somebody has seen it and made screenshots. Not pictures with a phone, but genuine screenshots on the device they were watching the trailer on.
Let us operate on the assumption that this is legit.
The leaker and the one taking the screenshots might not necessarily be the same person. But the one making the shots clearly had a lot of free time and full access to the computer with the trailar on it.
Yet this is what they decided to share?
Blizzard is probably feeling sad right now. They haven’t announced their expansion yet and they’ve already crap it. It's like if your mom showed your photo to a girl you like and she said he's ugly. You haven't met yet and she's already rejected you
The thing is, I'm not sure which one Khaz Algar would be here. The Rocky, rainy, greyish Mountain Pine forest zone on Screen one? We don't see dwarf shit on there, at least from the Screenshot's angle and context. But it does seem to be more like a Tol Barad-ish area, probably coastal. You land there, you are greeted by a veil of sharp mountainous terrain with a constant overhang of dark rain clouds, pretty, colorful vegetation in the midst of a darker, grey-ish Pine Forest.
But on immediate reaction, the second Screenshot just looks like .. "it".
This lantern thing from the image with the harpies also an asset from Legion
Blizzard, re-use assets? Never!
