Blizzard, a video game company known for its wildly popular World of Warcraft MMORPG as well as Starcraft and Diablo series, is also renowned for its wonderfully crafted CGI trailers which accompany the games.

Now, Blizzard has launched a cinematic trailer ahead of the upcoming World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor expansion, and it's probably the company's best work so far.

The trailer continues the World of Warcraft storyline by traveling back in time, with orc leader Garrosh Hellscream refusing to drink the blood of the demon lord Mannoroth. Instead, he defeats him and unites the orc clans into the Iron Horde.

The 5-minute trailer is filled with action, amazing detail and a thrilling soundtrack -- if you appreciate short CGI films, even if you're not a World of Warcraft fan, it's a must-see.

The expansion brings a new continent of Draenor, new raids and dungeons, garrisons, and raises the player level cap from 90 to 100. The release date is set at Nov. 13, 2014.
