Blizzard has released the opening cinematic for Wrath of the Lich King, the much anticipated expansion to World of Warcraft.  The video continues Blizzard's tradition of stunning visual sequences and depicts Arthas, the Lich King himself, preparing his forces for the dark and frigid days to come.

WOW. Great cinimatic. Blizzard could make so much more money if they gave up games and went to making movies.

Extremely beautiful, but definitely lacking... no battles, no fighting, no pcs... plus there's just a lack of urgency and battle.

WAR cinematic trumped this EASILY! Hell, the BC cinematic trumped this too.

Looking Forward to: STO and STOR and the Wheel of Time mmorpg

The Warhammer cinematic was far better than this, and Im even not a fan of Warhammer.

This cinematics is really great, but i think this isn't the last one for the WotLK, because there isn't an actual adress to players. Both ortiginal WoW and BC cinematics featured challenge to players, which they had to complete, but now it's only an Artha's memory from the past.

 

P.S. This is an adress to Loremasters > Taren Menethil talks about what the good king should do. Arthas still remembers this. So that means that Ner'Zhul hasn't taken over all goodness that Arthas had?
