Blizzcon 2011 - World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Trailer

Kung-fu Panda!


Okay, so this is the part where Blizzcon takes a very strange (not necessarily bad!) turn. I'm sure plenty of people will argue with me on this one, but here it goes. Blizzard introduces a new expansion in this trailer titled "Mists of Pandaria". There are unsurprising announcements in this trailer are that the level cap is being raised to 90, and we have a new race and class to play as along with a new world to explore.

Here's where it gets weird: The new race are a bunch of pandas called the Pandaren living in the mystical world of Pandaria. That's right, the new WoW race is a bunch of cuddly looking panda bears. But there's more! The new class is called the Monk, which specialized in martial arts. If you can put two and two together, or simply read the subtitle on the blog post, Blizzard essentially created a race of Kung-Fu Pandas. I almost expected Jack Black to jump into the screen to start yelling about something.

So there you have it, the future of World of Warcraft are pandas. Whether or not that's a good thing is still yet to be seen. How do you feel about the Pandaren? Leave it here!
