!["World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" Cinematic Goes Viral [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/01EvBJ4GSMjmC09OA2TTfud/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647019131.jpg)
World of Warcraft presently has more than 11 million monthly subscribers, making it one of the highest grossing games in history. Those millions of players are always hungry for Cataclysm teaser content before the expansion pack launches on December 7. The cinematic introduction has special appeal because developer Blizzard has a long history of rendering lavish cinematics.
The video depicts the rise of a monstrous dragon named Deathwing the Destroyer, whose return to the World of Warcraft results in cataclysmic changes to the landscape. Those changes include redesigns of many in-game regions where players quest and compete, so Blizzard can offer new opportunities and experiences to lower-level characters. The previous two World of Warcraft expansions focused instead on high-level content.
