World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic Trailer 

You know you've made a good game trailer when people come back to watch it a decade later

My son, the day you died, World of Warcraft died with you.

Unlike what Blizzard seems to want, we will never forget you, Arthas

Rest in Peace *Earl Boen* 1941 - 2023 You were the voice of the Warcraft Universe.

Just came here to see how a true Lich King looks like.

Blizzard will never achieve such perfection ever again.

nearly 15 years later and we're STILL coming back to this, arguably the greatest cinematic trailer Blizz has ever done. this one, this one just hits different. Long live the King.

Rest in Peace Arthas menetil . You Will NEVER Be forgotten

Yeah, this is better.

Arthas: the villain that all the people wanted to kill but no one wished to see dead.

"My son, the day you were born, the very forest of Lordaeron whispered the name, Arthas." Literally gives me the chills every time.

Sylvanas wanted his name to be forgotten but we will never forget the name of the most iconic character of WoW!

"...but the truest victory my son, is stirring the hearts of your people..." The fact that we're all here paying tribute to Arthas is proof that he still won.

make another warcraft movie, call it "Arthas"

You know what the difference between Arthas and the Shadowlands expansions is? Arthas will never be forgotten.

*THIS in my opinion is when WoW reached its peak.*

Yes. This is the Lich King we all remember.

This cinematic was so ahead of its time.

13 years later and this trailer goes harder than some modern cinema

You will be remembered forever in our hearts my king.

Better story than the night king

2010: Best trailer ever 2020: Best trailer ever

Arthas just perfectly represents the rise and fall of Blizzard Enterntainment. From Hero, to absolute villain.

Best Cinematic Ever...still is in 2022...that was the summit of Blizz! Merry X-mas to all of you Guys, take care!

This was made 12 years ago and still looks like it could be made today.

In my humble opinion, Arthas shall forever be one of gaming’s greatest villains. His rise, his fall, and his tragic nature essentially make him to Warcraft what Darth Vader was to Star Wars.

The Fact, his Father talks to the Lightbringer Paladin Arthas, while he is posessed, makes it awesome.

It’s 2024 and still the best WoW cinematic and expansion ever. So many great memories

Every WoW villain: "I will surpass Arthas" Arthas: "Worthless"

The Lich king is actually one of the greatest character designs of all time

Here after the Anduin's Raid Finale.. Gotta leave my huge F for our man Arthas.

"No king rules forever" R.I.P. Earl Boen 💔the voice of our childhood. According to his daughter, he passed quietly in his sleep. People say that is one of the better ways to go.

After 5 Years. Still get goosbumps every time i see this

The reason Wrath of the Lich king is remembered by many as the best expansion, regardless of gameplay, is because this one had the best villain. Specifically, the most personal villain. Illidan was always shady even before his corruption, Deathwing has been been a menacing figure but mostly in the background, no one liked Garrosh from the beginning, the orc leaders were known and liked but bringing them back felt odd, and the Burning Legion and Sargeras have always been a nebulous evil that no one really understood. But Arthas. We not only watched but we experienced him as a young paladin, madly in love with his childhood friend and following his longtime mentor, doing everything in his power to protect his homeland and the people he loved. Trying so hard to do what he believed was good, but facing moral conflicts and being unsure of what to do, desperately trying to save the most amount of people as he could at any cost, before finally giving in and betraying all he defended. We experienced him undoing everything he and his kingdom had built, callously allying with his greatest enemies, yet distantly feeling remorse and shame for what he had done, before finally destroying that part of him and becoming one of the greatest evils yet seen. Other villains may have technically been more powerful or more evil or more dangerous, but the Lich King is the best Warcraft villain because we were closest to him and felt the effects of what he did stronger than any other villain's. We didn't face him because a quest giver told us to, we faced him because we wanted to. Because we had to.

R.I.P Earl Boen, your voice and work shall forever fondly be remembered.

He will never be forgotten.

This is where World of Warcraft peaked.

10 fckng years still the best cinematic trailer ever made... The music the scenery everythings perfect love this trailer

You will never be forgotten, the true King of WoW, not Anduin. The true morally grey character, not Sylvanas.

blizzard, are you serious...?

"No king rules forever" How bittersweet this words taste if you look at Blizzard these days.

It's honestly kind of incredible how well this holds up. EIGHT YEARS. This was made EIGHT YEARS ago. And it's still one of the greatest cinematics ever made.

Rest in Peace, Earl Boen. Your unique voice gave life to some of the greatest characters and moments in gaming. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

They did him dirty!

I wish that instead of focusing on the First Invasion Blizz would make a movie about Arthas. That would be so amazing.

The highest peak of WoW. And of MMOs ever. No other game will reach that height again.

Rest in peace, King of Kings, The One True King of Azeroth and Warcraft. We, your people, will never forget you.

Even in 2022 this is an absolute masterpiece.

still after all these years sends chills down my spine

It's 2019 and I still got goosebumps watching this masterpiece

Arthas, the reason many of us started playing wow.

This is the most legendary trailer of all time

Strange, The Lich King standing up from his throne filled me with more fear and anticipation than Sargeras, Kiljaden, any of the old gods, or any other antagonist. Nothing really compares to the march of death itself against all living things. Arthas was the best villain. Hands down.

Arthas / The Lich King will always be the greatest storyline in World of Warcraft.

One of the most epic character of videogames history.

Back then: Arthas is the Lich King Shadowland finale: Arthas? Lich King? Oh, did you mean that forgotten wisp over there?

oh god i miss wrath of the lich king expansion ,best expansion no doubt.

When Blizzard Dev team was actually the Original WoW makers that also played the game

This hurts deeply after seeing what they did to him in shadowlands, May the old blizzard rest in peace and arthas with it

This is where Blizzard was in its prime, completely untouchable in all aspects. But no king rules forever....

This is storyline the WoW movie should have used

Who is watching this after seeing the latest Bolvar image?

Here after Anduin freed Arthas last soul fragment .Mourning the Death of such lore once was the greatest of its time

Almost 13 years have passed, but still, I'm here by the call of the Lich King!

Most badass villain of all time, back when games were made out of passion and not just for money..

WE NEED A MOVIE ABOUT ARTHAS/LICH KING

Even after 13 years, the CGI quality of this cinematic is amazing

Warcraft died with Arthas, we will never forget you.

I'm here dreaming about a movie whit arthas story line.

Came here after seeing how they massacred my boy.

This is by far the greatest expansion and villain because his story was told long before wow . Watching his character go from good to evil and then having him return in wow was what made it so epic

12 years later still gives me chills No pun intended. Best expansion from content to lore.

8 years later, I still get chills watching this

Anyone else still think this is the best WoW cinematic ever?

To the WOW devs, You can butcher our boy any way you like since you have the hots for Sylvanas but no matter how hard you try... To me and other fans like me, there will only be one true King in this series, Arthas Menethil, Crown prince of Lordaeron, First of the DeathKnights, the freaking Lich King!

The one true Hero. The one true King. The one true character *YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, TRUE KING OF LORDAERON*

"My son." The two words that make a WoW cinematic .. legendary. Legion hype is real!

When World of Warcraft had professional writers, not fanfic makers.

Just came from War Within trailer... something have happened for sure.

True king will never be forgotten

This was the BEST... the BEST expansion in Warcraft HISTORY.

Love the tragic poetry showcased here. Almost every line is beautiful, but pained. "The very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name... Arthas." Those forests are plagued now because of him. "My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon... of righteousness." As he draws one of the most evil weapons to ever exist, the weapon that turned his son into a weapon of death and evil. Then finally, "Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength, and I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power." Arthas has awakened now, and his goals are anything but restrained: the total subjugation and extermination of the living. Simply excellent.

Rest in peace, Earl Boen-- the voice of this amazing cinematic.

RIP Earl Boen. V.A for Terenas Menethil and the introduction cinematics for the races of world of warcraft.

"Is it over, father?" "No, *Activision* needs more money."

this isn't just a trailer, it's a short movie masterpiece

Still one of the best cinematic of all times.

2023 and this still hits hard

When WoW reached its peak

I seriously REALLY wish that the movie they make about this is made in the exact style this cinematic is. It's seriously amazing looking and it would fit the whole atmosphere of the story a lot better than live action. I was a fan of the movie, just saw it tonight but I would MUCH prefer a movie that looks like this cinematic instead.

"My son. The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whisphered the name... *Arthas".* 13 years later and that line *still* gives me the chills.

long live the king you will neve be forgotten

This is hands down the best cinematic of any game. From the dialogue and the background stor..., the music. Everything fits perfectly.. Oh man the feels. x(

Today is the 10 year anniversary of this expansion

Earl Boen RIP, you live on forever whenever this classic is revisited

When the games and it's history were made with love:

Never played WoW but this trailer sends shivers down my spine

We NEED at least two more warcraft movies: Fall of a prince Rise of a king

No matter what Blizzard wants, Arthas shall be KING.

Still watching year 2022. Remembering best time of my life!
