And what if it’s real?
Do I also get a sense of pride and accomplishment?
This exact one showed up a while ago. September I think. It doesn’t suddenly become more believable because BlizzCon is next weekend.

If it is real, I’d love to have another Vol’dun-esque zone to explore.
WTS tinfoil hats, cheap.
It’s not real tho. You can tear apart the images by examining em. The statue. A seam in an image.

Everyone’s telling me it’s fake, but it looks just as real as previous expansions, even down to the style.
The bottom two parts with the different dwarf clans are pretty believeable to me.

If you wanna believe it, go for it. Just don’t get upset when it’s proven fake
I won’t lol, I know this is all speculation since the real deal is next week.
In a world where everyone takes self-ies and has a camera that can transform reality on their phone, why is the picture crooked?
Man an entire thread full of people intent on killing the messenger instead of thinking “what if” imagination is a crime here apparently lol

Not Harpies! Those screeching voices. 
Bro nowadays you have generative AI and all you’d have to do is supply some screen shots of example art styles and a prompt and have it pump out as many fake expac photos as you want
Because the bottom picture is someone taking a pic of a laptop AND a cell phone, while it’s on their lap, ofc it’s crooked lol.
I’m going to wait for the actual expansion announcement to comment.
Mobile Ready…yeah not in my warcraft pall
I think it’s real, but it’s hard to be excited about some basic landscape shots without the actual context from the announcement.
The north-shore one has Azure Span vibes, the forest with butterflies has Ohanran Plains vibes, the other pics looks like Voldun and “colder Voldun.”
It’s very “I’ve seen this before.”
That doesn’t mean it won’t be cool it just means this is like the least possible exciting thing someone could have leaked.
If anything it feels like confirmation that we will have to wait even longer for a real Gilneas expansion which is 15 years overdue.

Then there is one thing we can deduce from this so-called “leak.”
The author has very bad posture.
That’s the biggest issue I have with it, tbh. It looks Kul’tiras or Zandalar, yet again.
I’d kill for some more weird and whacky Outland-type zones, like Netherstorm or Zangarmarsh.
Lol they’re likely in a chair, leaning back with all this stuff in their lap, holding their phone vertical so they could’ve taken that photo.
Blizz reuses assets so I’m not sure any of that means it’s fake. The statue looks like a Dwarf rather than the one in Stormheim.
I put it in the plausible category. DF leaked right before it’s announcement too.

those are certainly, uh, some images!
