World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor trailer released

Warlords

Warlords are coming. Warlords is coming. The World of Warcraft expansion releases tomorrow. Before that, here's a video featuring sounds and moving pictures that tell the story of the Iron Horde. It turns out they'd very much like to invade Azeroth, and the population of Azeroth would very much like to stop that from happening.

For our UK-located readers, we're currently running a competition to win one of five Warlords of Draenor Collector's Editions. For details, see this here tweet.

For everyone else: we'll have early impressions from the expansion this Friday, ahead of Richard Cobbett's full review.

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
