Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans Details

Overview

Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans was a black comedy point-and-click adventure video game under development by Blizzard Entertainment, set in the Warcraft universe, and cancelled before its release. American company Animation Magic was out-sourced due to their experience in classical two-dimensional animation to produce the twenty-two minutes of fully animated sequences, the game's artwork, the coding of the engine and the implementation of the sound effects. Blizzard provided all the designs, the world backgrounds, sound recording and ensured storyline continuity. Four or five months after Blizzard had released Battle.net and Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal had shipped, Blizzard began development on Lord of the Clans, that would be cancelled just over a year later. On September 9, 2016, a near feature-complete version of the game leaked online through the Russian user "Reidor" on the Scrolls of Lore forums. Though it is unclear as to where the leak originated, it has been speculated that the source of the leak may be a Russian subsidiary of Animation Magic, which was contracted to work on the game.
