That key art goes unbelievably hard.
That might be helpful, but it is in the article. So there is that.
Tune in for Opening Night Live for the Midnight Reveal
Gather your watch party together to bear witness to the unveiling of a truly monumental opening cinematic for World of Warcraft®: Midnight, at Opening Night Live on August 19! You won’t want to miss a single moment of the first salvo to WoW’s next chapter. It’s bound to make an impact.
I am sure we will have to check the info closer to the date to get the time and adjust for time zones. I might have to watch it on a VOD later. Depends on if I am asleep or not 
EDIT Looking at this is it going to be a ton of WoW info and some cool stuff I want to see. HOUSING! Even a cosplay contest. Like a mini-Blizzcon or something.

Behind the void elemental at middle, a suspicious shade with a familiar shape…
Love the look of those badass void lords with the teeth hint hint cough Warlocks would like those as a pet or skin.
I’m gonna be mad if the actual reveal doesn’t happen at midnight.
Blood elves better get something good we have been ignored for too long.
no? I don’t see anything.
N’Zoth head
Lol no it isn’t.
If Silvermoon turns blue I am out for good.
What do the whiny elves ‘need’ now? 
For what it’s worth, it’d be kinda weird if N’Zoth was involved in the story somehow both because of how BfA’s story ended and because the Old Gods are creations of the Void Lords. Even if N’Zoth was still around, he certainly wouldn’t be commanding any of them. Though the Void Lords certainly would have the ability to create new Old Gods if they wanted to do so.
sure we see the initial start of the void invasion but I doubt that shadow in the back is anything meaningful.
That would be removing a Horde city making an imbalance for Horde and faction cities, but I don’t forsee this happening.
I do see maybe Alliance helping us in Silvermoon in a scenario (instance setting), but they would be uninvited guests after that.
Actually, compared to the image shown in the OP here and on the article, the one that’s now posted in the battle.net launcher has the elementals in different positions that fully reveal the silhouette and to Arcaivus’ credit, it does look pretty similar to N’Zoth.
Not killing any blood elf leaders would be a good start.
Y’all… going from K’aresh to THIS is going to be the best year of WoW ever!
They never turned race capitals opposit side but the high elf crowd is loud in their demands.
