World of Warcraft has been infamously gluing eyes to computer monitors for over ten years. We've seen some pretty extreme examples of WoW addiction over the years, but at least Ronda Rousey was made into a character on the game. Back in January we got our first glimpse into the film adaptation of WoW when the first teaser for Warcraft was revealed. Now an official international trailer posted on Screen Crush has broadened that initial peak into the MMORPG's on-screen universe. 

The new trailer for Duncan Jones' adaptation of the sensational game provides a more detailed look at what will take place when the humans of Azeroth attempt to stave off an impending Orc invasion. The Orcs—who know no other way of life besides war—must avoid their cruel fate by working with the humans of Azeroth to bring about a better future. 

The new footage shows an array of new battle scenes and helps us get more acquainted with some of the Orc characters, Medivh (Ben Foster), and Garona (Paula Patton). It also looks like the CGI for this film is going to be an amazing spectacle to behold. This is the film's official synopsis: 

"The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home. So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something."

Warcraft comes out on June 10.
