World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria's opening cinematic debuted at Gamescom this week, and Blizzard has now released it into the wild.

It's another one of Blizzard's stunning CG creations, showing the eternal Alliance-Horde battle spilling into the peaceful land of Pandaria. Clearly, the Pandaren are not to be trifled with, even if Blizzard originally planned a completely different expansion to its massively multiplayer game.

Mists of Pandaria, the fourth expansion to World of Warcraft since its release in 2004, is set for release on September 25th.
