So, the World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor live event just finished and we have the release date for Warlords of Draenor now...



13th November 2014!



The release date was dropped at the end of the reveal of the new game cinematic leading into Warlords of Draenor.

The trailer shows Grommash Hellscream stepping up to drink the deamons blood from Gul'Dan, however, unlike the events of The Burning Crusade, this time Garrosh (Grommash's son) has forewarned Grommash of the treachery and Grommash throws away the deamon blood.   Mannanoth then appears for destroy them all for their failure, but Garrosh has bought future weapons and helps Grommash kill mannanoth, forever changing the future of Draenor and Azeroth!



you can watch the full new cinematic below:







The other new thing Chris Metzen from Blizzard showed off during the event, was the new 5 part Lore animated shorts, Lords of War!  Chapter 1, Kargath Bladefist and the birth of the Shattered Hand clan.

The mostly stylised motion comic design is very appealing and really conveys the story of this early boss in Burning Crusade (One I very much enjoyed taking down and getting his fist as a weapon :D )

These lore animated shorts will be released on a weekly basis, so stay turned for more of those



You can watch the first episode of Lords of War below:







See you all in Draenor!
