So it’s Monday now, the Worldwide Invitational in Paris is officially by, Diablo 3 has been announced and we’ve got tons of new info about Wrath of the Lich King — but where’s the cinematic? We know the Wrath cinematic is coming, but there was no sign of it at all at the WWI.

Then again, whether you look at the timeframes, it’s still a little soon — the acclaimed Burning Crusade cinematic actually dropped on the Spike Videogame Awards in December of 2006 (just a month before BC was actually released in January of 2007), so since there’s still some moment until the Wrath release, there will still be some instance until the cine shows.

In fact, it’s looking more and more like BlizzCon 2008 might be the place to see it. With a rumored release term of sometime in November, Blizzard’s big convention in October would probably be the perfect place to show off the next, undoubtedly beautiful chapter in the fall (and maybe even redemption?) of Arthas Menethil. Plus possibly they’ll put a Gnome in there that instance around.
