I won’t rule it out as I thought the DF leaks, including the pictures of the drakthyr, were fake cause they looked off/silly.

But here we are.

[RobertMugabe]

I think that's the Bolvar

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

man I am not brave enough for that

EDIT: ok I was brave enough, here's the pic

looks like Fyrakk to me.. face is corrupted or got chopped up

[Sauredfangs]

That's a Drogbar

[Dald]

Looks like a normal Orc with sunset light shinning on him.

That isn't a wow orc. Not sure how one can be so face blind.

[LemonDemonGirl]

Wow's getting Tieflings? No way!
Kidding, but I do hope this is real, love the look of it!

[Trazzle]

It's the same model/unit twice in frame. Shoulders and ears make it obvious.

[bardicbass616]

I dont believe it is AI
But I also dont believe it is Warcraft
More likely D4
Ya, this has got to be related to Diablo

[GratsDing45]

Looks like a Drogbar and Iridikron

I see it. It's the pointy chin that sells it for me. As I said, I think what probably happened is that it was AI-generated, and the prompt included something along the lines of "Warcraft" (thus the Orcish features) in addition to mentioning Fyrakk. Of course, something about the way it came out gave us in practice a weird, quasi-elemental Orcish thing with a passing resemblance to Fyrakk and without things like his distinguishing mandibles.

Except everything from concept art to in-game models shows that Fyrakk has no fleshy bits, no ears, no nostrils, and certainly no conventional teeth in addition to your mentioning of no rocky mandibles. The Primalists extol the rule of the elements which is why their visages are basically human-shaped elements so unless he is cursed in some way or forcibly changed by a titan device, there's no reason to now be adopting more conventional forms like humans or orcs.

That's what I'm saying. I think it's an ML generation using "Fyrakk" as an input, and it probably combined his appearance with various other Warcraft-y things due to another input in the prompt—"WoW", "World of Warcraft", or "Warcraft" are all plausible— mixed with that his appearance in itself may have not been something that the program was good at translating. The only things that really translated were the elemental skin and the pointy chin.

[Palapop]

wtf is with people saying stuff about "horned creature" in background.
It's a ffing humanoid with helmet on

[username993720]

It looks orcish based on the armor.
The red eyes could imply demonically-corrupted Orcs. Maybe it is the Blood Horde teased in the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon.
It looks like Warcraft, not Diablo. And it looks legit, like the Bolvar leaked cinematic frame.

I don't think you understand how these things work. There is not enough visual data available to any image-gen model out there to know what "Fyrakk" looks like. Even if you made a lora for StableDiffusion to build out how Fyrakk looked, it wouldn't look like this, it would instead look like Fyrakk.

You're vastly overestimating the ability of these image gen models to generate off of such ill-defined designs. It looks absolutely nothing like Fyrakk in anyway what so ever. The teeth and nose areas are similair to cutscene-model design styles of Orcs, but the ears and horns are completely different. Everything on the face is so specific and clearly designed, this is not an AI trying to interpret "Fyrak" based off of the same 3 pictures that show up in google of him in his "visage". He evenn has a clearly deliberately modeled shoulder pad.

It is very clear the being in the forefront is not AI generated. It doesn't mean this is a real leak or even from Warcraft (though it very well could be).

It looks like a Stoneborn Venthyr, the horns, the earns, the facial distribution, the eyes, even the little beard.

Though I can't imagine Blizzard would be that fucking stupid to go back to cosmos/Shadowlands shit.

What about the guy in the background? Do you think that's in orc too?

Yes. Very orcish proportions. The armor as well.
They are probably trying to throw us off with the angle, like they did with Grommash in WoD:

Remember when this leaked? We thought what the hell is this? A manbearpig? Turned out it was Grommash.

[Mendzia]

Not sure if AI generated pic or single video frame from random shitty phone game.
BUT GUYS, 'CONFIDENTAL' MAKES IT REAL

[Skirdus]

I'm squarely in team "this is meant to be Fyrakk but for whatever reason his CGI model is entirely inaccurate to his in-game model" after what happened with the Jailer

I figure it can't actually be Fyrakk, despite the similar chin and color scheme. While the Jailer's cinematic model looked very off, it was still recognizable as him. This is a case where there's far less in common with Fyrakk than there is in common with him; the most jarring bit for me is the lack of his very distinctive mandibles, which I figure would be there in any case.
