A 15-second teaser trailer released on Tuesday isn’t much more than a quick montage of battle sequences, but it’s earned more than 1.2 million views on YouTube already — unsurprising, given that fans of the video games have been waiting for the film for [almost a decade](http://web.archive.org/web/20071125104232/http://blizzard.com/press/060509.shtml). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4099211/warcraft-teaser-trailer-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4099211/warcraft-teaser-trailer-movie/"},"headline":"Watch the First Teaser Trailer for Warcraft","datePublished":"2015-11-04T02:22:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:19:26.673Z","description":"The film has been in the works since 2006","url":"https://time.com/4099211/warcraft-teaser-trailer-movie/","keywords":["movies","Video Games","Hollywood"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4099211/warcraft-teaser-trailer-movie/","name":"Watch the First Teaser Trailer for Warcraft"}}]}] ```
