As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people, and their home.

So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces and everyone fights for something. World of Warcraft holds the Guinness World Record for most popular MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) ever and has grossed more than 11.5 billion dollars since it was released. Warcraft: Behind the Dark Portal tells the full story of the incredible creative journey that brought Blizzard Entertainment’s beloved epic adventure of world-colliding conflict to the big screen. Filled with stunning concept art, unit photography, and visual effects breakdowns, this book also features insightful interviews with the incredible cast and crew, as they share the secrets behind bringing war-torn Azeroth to life.

Comment by hotaru251

Comment by xwrikos

In Garrison we had the music box we had to go around to collect all the music rolls. now we have the skins, very progressively!

Comment by Rugnus

Warlords of Draenor had some great stuff in it, raiding especially.. they nailed it.

Making SO much content irrelevant with Tanaan was one of the worst things.. if Thal'Dranath is going to be like that again it will be a huge mistake imo.

That and nothing really new to do since June of last year is a hell of a problem..

Here's hoping that Legion is what we all hope it is.

Comment by Sunderhoof87

I'm so pumped for Legion! But my druid is sad that he won't have horns anymore. What's the deal with the lack of race-specific forms? Recolors of the same form is a bit lackluster, but the new models are gorgeous.

Comment by KenjiT28

The new bear forms look savage I probably will be playing my drood more in legion.

Comment by Neurotoxic

I'm fine with the bear forms--- Yet, *purple* should be the night elf one? Come on Blizz. Why have the form discrepency that's our shtick.

Comment by Raynre

You're taking on the aspect of Ursoc or Ashamane, who I assume dont appear different to different races. You are no longer a bull shape shifting into a cat, you are drawing on the essence of a beast of legend who is, understandably, a little more powerful than your old magics.

Comment by Nulgar

Well, at least the Tauren Cat Artifact variant doesn't have that damn nose ring...

Comment by Sielinth

if there's a more in depth look at that book, Warcraft: Behind the Dark Portal , i'm all ears

the movie can be lame and cheesy but by god does it look amazing visually

Comment by Majeur

The race-specific color variations on the base artifact model are a neat little extra, obviously you don't have to use yours. I'm looking forward to playing around with them on my druid alt.

And on that note, I really hope Blizzard will make these improved artifact forms available for future expansions in the form of some kind of "form transmog" for lack of a better term, since having to go back to same old boring forms in the expansion after Legion (once you replace your artifact?) would be a big let down after finally getting to experience all this customization to your form for the first time in Legion.

Comment by AxelXIII

for anyone who would complain about Garona being half human in the movie, she actually was believed to be half human for a fairly long time

Comment by Igzy

So happy not ALL the artifact forms are race specific. Really want my troll to have Lisa Frank Cat Form!

Comment by AiGui

I'd prefer to see a larger difference between the Tauren and Worgen cat druid forms. Perhaps the Worgen could be a charcoal or gray color.

Comment by ocularbandit

Will the chameleon glyph for the druid forms affect the artifact forms? If not, then we essential won't need it/use it for an entire expansion...

Comment by Zakkaru

Why would troll players use default artifact form when the Primal version is what Troll catform should look like to begin with!

Comment by Leorius

Regarding the question about Garano's bloodline, draenei vs human, I think its worth noting that at this point in the continuity Garona actually beleived she was half human. It wasnt until much later that she discovered that she was half Draenei.
