Blizzard / World of Warcraft: Housing Teaser

In a surprise reveal during the Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct, we unveiled the “Housing Teaser” for the upcoming World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion. This wasn't just another feature announcement; it was the realization of a community request nearly twenty years in the making.

Working closely with Blizzard, we produced a cinematic that pivots away from the frontlines of battle to show a different side of a hero’s life—the quiet, personal sanctuary where the adventure truly begins and ends.

The primary challenge was moving away from the high-octane spectacle of our previous trailers to focus on a single, intimate character moment. We needed to convey the Home Sweet Home sentiment through subtle storytelling: a weary warrior hanging up their shield, a shelf filled with trophies of past victories, and the warm glow of a fireplace.
