This Month in WoW – June 2016

Lights! Camera! It’s time for some June action! There’s much to see and do, and we have our eye on what the community’s up to, too. In this June edition of This Month in WoW, we look forward to some of the more remarkable things going on in the World of Warcraft community.

The Warcraft Movie

The Warcraft movie will sweep into theaters June 10 in North America, and we’re excited to share details on some of the major Warcraft movie promotions occurring around the world—including a very special World of Warcraft in-game gift in celebration of the film’s release. Through August 1, players who log in to World of Warcraft will receive a set of movie-inspired transmogrification items (AllianceHorde).

 

Watch the Premiere Live Stream

Join us for the premiere live stream June 6 direct from Hollywood! Hosts Jesse Cox and Michele Morrow will be joined by Warcraft movie Director Duncan Jones, movie cast members, and many more special guests as a part of this Legendary event. Tune in on the official Warcraft Twitch channel for the live stream beginning at 5:00 p.m. PDT.

For those attending the movie, many theaters around the world are holding additional promotions. Here’s just some of what’s going on at local theaters.

 

Get the Soundtrack

The Warcraft movie soundtrack is now available for pre-order. Take this legendary score by Grammy-nominated composer Ramin Djawadi with you wherever you go.

Pre-order on iTunes (digital) – Available June 3

 

Read the Official Prequel Novel

Prepare for the release of the Warcraft movie by reading the official prequel! Written by best-selling author Christie Golden, Durotan takes you into the heart of the Frostwolf Clan as they struggle to survive on a dying world. Pick up this tale of survival, conflict, and magic at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and many other fine booksellers.

 

Catch the WarcraftIRL Action

Two teams representing the Horde and the Alliance battled it out in a real-life game of Capture the Flag at Universal Studios Hollywood—and we’ve got the video to prove it.

The Warcraft movie–inspired clash took place at the #WarcraftIRL Capture the Flag event hosted by Legendary Pictures. Learn more about the film by visiting the Warcraft movie site, and join the conversation on Twitter with #WarcraftMovie.

 

Holidays

Midsummer Fire Festival June 21 – July 5

Across Azeroth and Outland, brilliant bonfires have been lit to rekindle peoples’ spirits and ward off ancient evils. Each year, new guardians are chosen to watch over the sacred flames and ensure that they are never extinguished.

Called „flamekeepers,“ these chosen few request the aid of brave adventurers to traverse the land and journey into the dark recesses of Azeroth’s dungeons. It is rumored that any heroes who are willing to brave the terrors placed before them will be rewarded for their efforts through the power of the flames.

This is the only time of the year to obtain the Frigid Frostling and Spirit of Summer pets. The fire festival is one of the most PvP-heavy events in the land, so strap into your gladiator gear and get ready to desecrate or defend the Midsummer bonfires from your enemies!

Did You Know?

Ten years ago, on June 20, 2006, Patch 1.11 brought Naxxramas to World of Warcraft.

Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas serves as the seat of one of the Lich King’s most powerful officers, the dreaded lich Kel’Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich King’s servants prepare their assault. The Scourge marches again…
