From the Developers

Longtime fans of the series will recall that this story began as the struggle between Orcs and Humans. Now we expand the tale to encompass the conflict between Trolls and Elves, Gnomes and Goblins, Dwarves and Tauren, Demons and Undead. For the first time in the series, you will control a single character, and from this new perspective, personally help determine the result of this world conflict. With great pride now the gates to the world of Azeroth are open, to join either the vicious Horde or the noble Alliance to forge every unique Warcraft story.
