Held this past weekend in Anaheim, BlizzCon is a *World of Warcraft* players’ pilgrimage into the real-world, or something akin to the real-world, anyway. BlizzCon is part Renaissance fair, part esports competition, and everything Blizzard. As thus, there were plenty of game announcements related to Blizzard’s major properties.

While *World of Warcraft* is getting more trolls, and the anticipated *Diablo 3* update *Reaper of Souls* was on display, a particular point of interest was *Warcraft* the movie, to be released in 2015\. While the word is still out on whether a decent plot could be sculpted out of *WoW*’s puerperal skies, pandas, and treasure trolls, at least the film should look pretty. Special effects are being conceptualized by Industrial Light & Magic–you know, the guys George Lucas founded to do the effects for *Star Wars*.

Industrial Light & Magic have a mighty impressive track record, including work on *Indiana Jones, Harry Potter*, and *Jurassic Park*. The list goes on and on. It sounds like Blizzard are sparing no expense. Let’s say we are cautiously optimistic about this thing.
