Legendary Pictures has release a neat little virtual reality teaser for next year’s Warcraft movie, allowing players to take an aerial tour of the city of Stormwind, home to the human race.
It’s been knocked up by Industrial Light & Magic xLAB, and it’s a reminder of just how far the franchise has come since players first took a low-poly tour around the city on griffon-back, circa 2005. For best results, it’s recommended that you watch it in Chrome.
The teaser was released, alongside a flurry of promotional material for next year’s film adaptation, at San Diego Comic Con. Visitors also got a glimpse at the very first teaser trailer, but that hasn’t been released to the general public yet. In any case, the marketing for the Duncan Jones directed movie, which stars Travis Fimmel, Dominic Cooper and Toby Kebbell, is starting to begin in earnest.
I’m not a huge Warcraft fan by any means, but I’m a big fan of Jones, and I’m fascinated to see how this turns out. Could we have the first decent video game movie on our hands? We’ll find out on June 10, 2016, when the film is released.
