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.
