Mists of Pandaria Opening Cinematic Revealed

Mists of Pandaria Opening Cinematic Revealed

You've ended Deathwing's destructive rampage and saved the dragonflights from extinction. Now you must unlock the mysteries of the lost continent and discover the dark secrets of Pandaria's past. Explore ancient kingdoms hidden since before the Sundering, plunder vast treasures from the depths of the forgotten vaults, and rise to defend Pandaria from the shadow of a long buried evil - before it's too late.

We are pleased to present the opening cinematic for Mists of Pandaria as presented at gamescom 2012. Whether you’re Horde or Alliance, there is one question we all must consider: “Why do we fight?”

They should make a WoW movie like this. Just damn amazing Blizz, tell your animation team that they get a promotion and free keg of beer!

Wow I was rooting for the alliance in that fight. What? You guys are clearly the underdogs sometimes. My favorite part is when the Pandaren takes the extra 2 seconds to adjust whatever that decoration was on near the bridge.

Very nice cinematic trailer.
Sets the mood of the expansion very well, and has the 'CALL TO ADVENTURE' Feeling!

are you all mad? this cinematic certainly does set the tone, but not a good one. Not that the cinematic will deter me from playing, but I look at the story/lore driven cinematic as epic. i.e WotLK, this fails massively

@Dremin: The BC cinematic, frankly, was awful. I don't care if you deem it "dark and edgy". It was a mess.

Pretty great trailer, though wasn't as impressive as seeing Deathwing bursting out of Deepholm :x

Really nice. Its great to just have a peaceful expansion trying to recreate the vanilla feel rather than some epic evil dude for once.
