A live-action movie based on Blizzard’s Warcraft series will be coming to theaters later this year, and it looks like the company is considering giving fans more incentive to check it out. According to a mailer that Blizzard is sending out now, if you keep your ticket stub after seeing the movie you will get the World of Warcraft game for free and all of its expansions. You will also be getting one month of game time for free, foregoing the game’s monthly subscription fee for at least a little while. Blizzard is looking for feedback on this proposed deal so it isn’t definitely happening yet, but it’s definitely one way to stir up some interest for the upcoming movie.
Here’s a synopsis for the movie: “From Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures comes Warcraft: The Beginning, an epic adventure of world-colliding conflict based on Blizzard Entertainment’s global phenomenon. The peaceful realm of azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. 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 is also set to be getting a new expansion called Legion later this year, which comes with the following description: “The Tomb of Sargeras has been reopened, and the demons of the Burning Legion pour into our world. Their full, terrifying might is fixed on summoning the Dark Titan to Azeroth—and they’ve already located the key to his return. With the Alliance and Horde devastated, only you can take up Warcraft’s most legendary artifacts, scour the ancient Broken Isles for relics of the Titans, and challenge the Legion before Azeroth’s last hope dies. Steel yourself, champion. Extinction is imminent.”
