Warcraft

Warcraft is a long-running fantasy universe created by Blizzard Entertainment, centered on the world of Azeroth and the endless conflict between the Alliance and the Horde. It began in 1994 with the real-time strategy game Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, which established the core lore of orcs invading a human kingdom. The series expanded through sequels and evolved into the massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft in 2004, which became one of the most successful and influential MMOs of all time. The franchise spans strategy games, MMOs, card games, mobile titles, novels, comics, animated shorts, and a 2016 live-action film. Its rich lore features iconic races, heroes, villains, and massive world-spanning stories that have defined online gaming culture for decades.
