Blizzard Is Overdue For an Animated Movie
Another BlizzCon has come and gone, and we all know what that means: a new batch of animated awesomeness to watch. This year’s reveals included the World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth intro cinematic showing the Alliance’s massive siege against the Horde, and the Overwatch animated short "Honor and Glory" telling the tragic tale of why Reinhardt joined the team (and how he got that Anakin Skywalker eye-scar). Both were thrilling, emotional, and exquisitely rendered, begging the question that has undoubtedly come out of every Blizzard fan’s mouth at one point or another: why doesn’t Blizzard make a feature-length animated movie?
