Blizzard today declared that Australians and New Zealanders who see the Warcraft feature film at Hoyts cinemas will receive a free digital copy of World of Warcraft. You know, the game.
“A whole new audience will experience the war between the Alliance and the Horde when the Warcraft movie hits theaters,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re excited to give Hoyts moviegoers a chance to participate in that conflict firsthand and explore Azeroth for themselves after seeing it on the big screen.”
World of Warcraft is pretty much free-to-play right now; users can head here to get the World of Warcraft: Starter Edition, which allows play to level 20 for free.
Update: Blizzard has confirmed that the edition given out at Hoyts includes World of Warcraft and all expansions up to and including “Warlords of Draenor” alongside and one free month of subscription.
At any rate, World of Warcraft will also celebrate the upcoming film by offering in-game items to players who log in between 25 May and 1 August. Items include “the ornate sword and shield carried by soldiers of the Alliance, a massive and menacing Horde axe, and the staff of the fel-twisted orc warlock Gul’dan.”
Warcraft hits theatres next month. Stay tuned to Stevivor next week for chances to win double passes to the film.
