Week of the Lich King

Forget the presidential election: The really big news is that the next World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, comes out on Thursday. In a second, I’m going to show you the opening cinematic for the expansion.

But before I do that, watch the following one first. It takes place five years earlier, and is the end of the human storyline in Warcraft III. Arthas Menethil, Prince of Lordaeron, has discovered what’s been causing the undead to rise in his country, and has journeyed to Northrend, the setting for Wrath of the Lich King, to end the threat once and for all. He returns a changed man …

Four years later, the transformation is complete: Arthas Menethil is the Lich King, ruler of the Undead Scourge.
