- WarCraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans est un jeu vidéo d'aventure graphique en pointer-et-cliquer développé par Blizzard Entertainment et Animation Magic de 1996 jusqu’à son annulation en 1998. Le jeu prend place dans l’univers de Warcraft et retrace la quête de l’orc Thrall pour libérer son peuple, réduit à l’esclavage et parqué dans des réserves depuis leur défaite contre les humains dans Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal. Par l’intermédiaire d’une interface graphique en pointer-et-cliquer, le joueur contrôle Thrall et explore le monde de Warcraft, résout des énigmes et discute avec des personnages pour progresser dans le jeu. Le concept de WarCraft Adventures est imaginé fin 1996 lorsque la société mère du studio Animation Magic suggère à Blizzard Entertainment d’adapter la licence Warcraft en jeu d’aventure. Du fait de son expérience dans ce domaine, les graphismes, les animations et la programmation du jeu sont réalisés par Animation Magic à Boston et à Saint Petersbourg, sous la direction de Blizzard Entertainment qui se charge de la conception. En la matière, l’équipe de développement s'inspire principalement des jeux d’aventures de LucasArts comme The Dig (1995) ou Full Throttle (1995). Blizzard Entertainment rencontre cependant des difficultés pour s’adapter aux particularités du genre et aux contraintes imposées par leur coopération avec Animation Magic. Après un an de développement, le jeu est quasiment terminé mais Blizzard Entertainment n’est pas satisfait du résultat et décide donc de reporter sa sortie (initialement prévue pour fin 1997) puis de recruter le concepteur Steve Meretzky pour le retravailler. Ses propositions d’amélioration ne sont cependant pas compatibles des contraintes budgétaires et calendaires du studio et ses développeurs décident finalement d’abandonner le projet en mai 1998 après 18 mois de travail. Pendant son développement, WarCraft Adventures bénéficie d’une importante couverture médiatique et son annulation en 1998 provoque le mécontentement des fans et la déception de la presse spécialisé. Après son annulation, son scénario est adapté dans un roman intitulé Warcraft: Lord of the Clans (2001) écrit par Christie Golden qui sert ensuite de prémices au scénario de Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (2001). Des éléments du jeu sont également repris dans World of Warcraft et dans le film Warcraft : Le Commencement (2016). Une version du jeu quasiment terminé est diffusée illégalement sur Internet en septembre 2016. (fr)
- Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans is a cancelled graphic adventure game developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Animation Magic from 1996 until 1998. Set in the Warcraft universe after the events of Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, it followed the orc character Thrall in his quest to reunite his race, then living on reservations and in slavery following its defeat by the human Alliance. Assuming the role of Thrall, the player would have used a point-and-click interface to explore the world, solve puzzles and interact with characters from the wider Warcraft series. Warcraft Adventures was conceived in late 1996, when Blizzard's sister company Capitol Multimedia suggested that the Warcraft license might be suited to an adventure game. As a result, the Blizzard team chose to co-develop the project with Animation Magic, a subdivision of Capitol responsible for the CD-i games from The Legend of Zelda series. While the game design and direction occurred at Blizzard's Irvine, California headquarters, Animation Magic handled the programming and art respectively in Boston and Saint Petersburg, and the studio Toon-Us-In helped to create the cutscenes in South Korea. The team opted for a conservative design approach on Warcraft Adventures, influenced by LucasArts adventure games such as The Dig and Full Throttle. Blizzard struggled to adapt to the adventure genre during development, and the slowness of the international production pipeline became a major problem for the team. Unhappy with the game's progress, Blizzard delayed Warcraft Adventures past its original release date of late 1997 and hired game designer Steve Meretzky to revise the project in February 1998. This resulted in a plan to edit and improve the game with minimal changes to its art: Warcraft Adventures was already near completion, and deadline and budget restrictions prevented a major redesign. Meretzky's plan went largely unused, as an internal review at Blizzard determined that its implementation would lead to excessive delays. Instead, the developer chose to cancel the project in May 1998, after roughly 18 months of work. Warcraft Adventures received significant pre-release attention from the gaming public and press, and the decision to cancel it was met with fan backlash and critical disappointment. Despite the game's cancellation, its story was adapted into the novel Warcraft: Lord of the Clans (2001) by Christie Golden, and was the basis for Blizzard's real-time strategy game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Elements of the game later influenced World of Warcraft and the 2016 film Warcraft. During the 2010s, leaked gameplay videos of Warcraft Adventures were posted on the Internet by Russian fans. A nearly-finished version of the game was released illegally online in September 2016. Reviewing the leaked version, critics generally praised its visuals, but several found its conservative design uninspired. (en)

- Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans foi um jogo eletrônico de aventura do estilo point-and-click desenvolvido pela Blizzard Entertainment e ambientado no universo Warcraft, que foi cancelado antes de seu lançamento. A Blizzard desenvolveu internamente o jogo, mas subcontratou à empresa a produção de cerca de vinte minutos de animações 2D para inclusão no jogo. O jogo contava ainda com atores talentosos para dar voz aos personagens, incluindo Peter Cullen (Transformers), Clancy Brown (Highlander, The Shawshank Redemption, Carnivàle) e Tony Jay (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, ReBoot). O lançamento de Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans foi inicialmente anunciado para o final de 1997, mas foi posteriormente adiado para o início de 1998. Embora os relatos iniciais aplaudissem a qualidade artística e a narrativa do jogo, a jogabilidade foi considerada obsoleta pela Blizzard, que decidiu cancelá-lo em 1998. Os fãs do universo Warcraft reagiram negativamente à notícia, chegando a criar uma petição online para ressuscitar o jogo, levando a Blizzard a emitir um comunicado em que esclarecia que a decisão tinha que ver com a qualidade do jogo e não com uma qualquer estratégia de marketing ou negócio.

- Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans — отменённая компьютерная игра в жанре графического квеста, которую совместно разрабатывали американская компания Blizzard Entertainment и американо-российская студия Animation Magic с 1996 по 1998 год. Действие Warcraft Adventures происходит в вымышленной вселенной Warcraft вскоре после событий игры Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal; главный герой, орк по имени Тралл, пытается объединить племена орков, после проигранной войны живущие в резервациях под властью победителей-людей. Игровой процесс Warcraft Adventures должен был быть схож с другими графическими квестами того времени — при помощи интерфейса «укажи и щелкни» игрок мог исследовать мир, решать головоломки и взаимодействовать с другими персонажами.

- "You could basically play it from beginning to end [...] But we thought the gameplay was too linear. We had done a bunch of puzzle changes that had yet to be implemented. People were asking 'This looks really good, but what about WarCraft Adventures will make it a Blizzard title?' " (en)
- "A lot of it was that it just took a long time to get stuff. And a very large part of our design process is iteration, where we do something, we look at it, we see it, we see the next thing, and back and forth to polish it to just the way we want to see it. And that was very difficult working with someone who was that far away, to be honest. That was one of the biggest challenges I think we faced." (en)
- "The game code that was leaked is a really fascinating slice of time in the history of Blizzard game development, but it’s not where we were taking the game in terms of puzzles and story if we would have pushed it to completion as opposed to canceling it". (en)
