Really great music this time around, although I still hope that the new login screen will visually change as the expansion progresses or something special.
To be fair, how often do you actually see this screen for more than two seconds with the auto-login from the launcher taking you straight to your character select?
@@SirJorb I mean yeah not very often, but I do absolutely stop and admire the login screens from time to time, in particular when they're new. I'm sure other people do the same.
@@SirJorb Doesn't matter, you could say that about many things. How often will you gaze at the expansion box art? Or view the cinematic? You'd see the log in screen more than those. Its lazy. They can afford to make a pretty log in screen.
@@soupofthedead4748 But in this case, it feels great. Yes! At the end I miss another upbeat after the nice quiet phase, unfortunately the music then ends.
@@Psychodetektiv i think they will add more to it when the expansion releases and the new zones have their music available. If i remember correctly, that’s how Dragonflight was.
@@mojogaming3006 It'll be longer in the final version. They did the same with Dragonflight. They released a 2-3 minute version which is exclusive to the title screen and the final version will have all the zone themes added afterwards (once they are all done and treated to become a medley).

I know everyone likes the ol' drums of war, me too, but nothing hits like hearing the first taste of a new expansion leirmotif when it's as good as 0:48 ! I got choked up as soon as I heard it, this saga is going to be amazing!
I know a lotta people are upset with how simple the artwork is, but I can't help feeling it's gonna change over time. Be it a hue shift or completely cracking open like it's a tome of sorts
I like how simple it is. It will probably evolve into the WW logo as the expansion goes, then into the Midnight logo and finally Last Titan logo when they release the xpacs
I don't think a piece of WoW music has touched me like this since the WotLK reveal trailer. Has a real "beginning of the end", "point of no return" feel to it.
How fresh it feels to not have a Main Title music that is extended as much as the former ones. This one adds way more flavour and tingles the curiosity.
Calling it now, the login screen will change over time and the people who said they hate it will eat their words as it becomes the most unique and dynamic login screen we've ever had
The goosebumps don't stop. It's that amazing. The mixture of nolstagia music from the start to the sinister violin and the vocals at the mid/end. Absolutely brilliant.
I actually really like the login screen as well. When I sit here looking at it and listening to the music I get huge vibes that's there's something behind it and it will open up. I'm curious what's behind it
Even 20 years later, I am not surprised by the beauty and simplicity of the melody, which is always wrapped in a different sub-musical guise. Excellent, beauty. As always.
20 years of playing and this music still gives me chills! Beautifully done! THIS MUSIC ALONE has got me more PUMPED now for The War Within! Let's get it!
Wow, this title theme song is absolutely incredible! The epic vibes are off the charts, and it instantly gives me chills. The combination of powerful instrumentation and captivating melodies creates an unforgettable auditory experience. Kudos to everyone involved-this is a masterpiece! if this music is representing what to come in TWW, then bring it on!! EPIC!
So, I love the original main title music in vanilla bc nostalgic feels. But this, WOW, this! I really love this! They incorporated some of the original but added so much new sounds and the sudden change in chords...this is what I love with music...when they surprise me. :) @0:52 - this! What I am hearing are so many legacy sounds woven into one. I could spend quite some time pulling it apart but the aesthetic part of me wants to simply sit here and enjoy.
The soundtrack is nostalgic, with a hint of mystical menace, despair and a spark of hope. I like it and am looking forward to the longer version. About the artwork: I can understand why people don't like it. I think it's okay, but Silithus & the sword would have been literally more inviting, as you're looking out into the distance and not against a... Stone? A chest? you know what i mean
The music is everything. Gave me chills, nostalgia, expectations, and it gives a sense of urgency. I have to say I actually really like the artwork, and I hope it will change over time as many are speculating it will.
I think the loading screen is great, the music is even better. Go blizz bring me the game and vibe i felt when i first installed those 5 disks in 2005!!! Even with all the changes, many of whom i don't like in those 20 years...my heart and soul beats Warcraft...and now i will log in with my son and show him what his father was doing last 20 years!!!
just put hallowfall or sargeras sword into the login screen edit: maybe its gonna be an dynamic login screen and changes with lore progress or each patch. (also for some reason it looks like an eye to me)
Sargeras' sword is referenced in the cinematic but never (so far) in TWW gameplay.. wouldnt really fit. (NO, the crystal in Hallowfall is NOT THE F**KING SWORD, no matter how many times morons repeat it). For one thing, its in the wrong place on the globe.
Every major creative decision like this is made deliberately. Of all the locations in MoP, Blizzard chose to make the login screen the statues that would later get wrecked. Now think about why they would choose to do this...
Forget all of the new features, the abilities, the dungeons, the story..It usually comes down to the login screen for whether or not I return to WoW for a new expansion.. 😁
I think they kept it simple because the Real loading screen is going to be your 4 character Warband sitting around some awesome setting with the same music anyway lol.
0:15 No matter how many decades or expansions pass, this part still gives me chills even 20 years later, simply epic
Said the same thing earlier, what an amazing little melody that stayed with us no matter how the game changed, this always stayed the same.
same here brother
Each expansion having it's own personal take on it has been wonderful. I think WotLK's is still my favourite after all this time.
Can’t agree more. This little melody brings me back to the first time I launched the game 20 years ago. Be back to 1.0 time
Yes, I love it!!! The music and the simple theme are both gorgeous!!!
Really great music this time around, although I still hope that the new login screen will visually change as the expansion progresses or something special.

They kind of crushed this. I need the whole soundtrack now.

I wish it's true, at least with every x.x.(n) patch
they did say the expansions were going to be a bit quicker with this saga they're working on - I say let them cook
A new change with saga, a new change in login screens.
I like how simple it is. It will probably evolve into the WW logo as the expansion goes, then into the Midnight logo and finally Last Titan logo when they release the xpacs
It's definitely gonna crack open through the patches
I don't think a piece of WoW music has touched me like this since the WotLK reveal trailer. Has a real "beginning of the end", "point of no return" feel to it.
Yessss that's it right there!!
How fresh it feels to not have a Main Title music that is extended as much as the former ones. This one adds way more flavour and tingles the curiosity.
Yes,but sadly they mixed up a bunch of stuff in the new longer version :/ its on WoWhead and this sounds better.
@@sonia417 ah nah... I prefer this one instead...
I love the vanilla intro then transitions to melodic strings then to ominous choir. It has the sense of urgency, hope and despair.
Calling it now, the login screen will change over time and the people who said they hate it will eat their words as it becomes the most unique and dynamic login screen we've ever had
I'd trade unique and dynamic for epic anytime.
Yeaaah I don't see that happening. This whole expansion just screams Lazy and repetitiveness.
Its a bonfire dude
Cope
it will change over these 3 expansions. I'm sure it will crack and show us how Azeroth Titan borns
The goosebumps don't stop. It's that amazing. The mixture of nolstagia music from the start to the sinister violin and the vocals at the mid/end. Absolutely brilliant.
would be cool if the cracks started to slowly break apart with shadow tentacles spreading to show the title screen falling to the Shadow / void
Just Wait ;)
I think this is likely the case
This is what I'm predicting for future patches or for midnight. I think they are absolutely cooking something. There is mystery here
Wishful thinking
Like once you login
Love the music and the login screen as well. The login screen looks like something mysterious is going on
I actually really like the login screen as well. When I sit here looking at it and listening to the music I get huge vibes that's there's something behind it and it will open up. I'm curious what's behind it
@@TheSilverwing999 Is this our dear Azeroth whch we've been protecting for years ?? We'll figure it out soon !!
Motifs are looking very ouroboros, classic cyclical warcraft. Time to break that cycle!
Even 20 years later, I am not surprised by the beauty and simplicity of the melody, which is always wrapped in a different sub-musical guise. Excellent, beauty. As always.

the crescendo of violins gave me chills :D
2:06 i love how the more sinister/sorrowish tones drop here, very much in the supposed defeat we are to confront eventually.
Death of Khadgar is proof of that
Game of thrones vibes with classic legendary wow parts
I thought the same!
the violin in the middle is so epic
Well I'm loving the music already, the different variations of the login screen music have always been great IMO.
This makes me so nostalgic for the early days of WoW - yet also excited for what’s to come. Awesome work, Blizz. ❤
It's criminal that this is only two and a half minutes! With the more sinister feel, I cannot wait for the rest of the soundtrack
Ooh, that is a fantastic tune!
Damn, they nailed the music here. I can’t wait to hear the whole soundtrack.
Mid visuals but tbh I'm just glad the music is fire. Can't wait to come home to this music after a day of working
Yeah this is the best theme since Legion
Varian: "Summon Our Champions, Make Ready For War! Azeroth needs it's Heroes now, MORE than ever."
WoW dont miss in the music department, always a banger
Left no crumbs in the kitchen on this one. Absolutely amazing!
This is amazing but i cant be the only one who hears a bit of Crusader Kings 2 music at 1:27, mainly the byzantime empire theme.
Good hearing mate. I hear it too. Was scrolling through my games & movies folder trying to find what this sounded like, and yep there it is.
Yeah absolutely LOVE it. it sa great mysterious way to start a new saga. Love the visuas, it snice and simple. The music is GREAT. No notes
The soundtrack is nostalgic, with a hint of mystical menace, despair and a spark of hope. I like it and am looking forward to the longer version.
About the artwork: I can understand why people don't like it. I think it's okay, but Silithus & the sword would have been literally more inviting, as you're looking out into the distance and not against a... Stone? A chest? you know what i mean
This is soo good. The variations of the main theme thru the years have all been good, but this is next level
So epic, so beautiful. Hopefully a longer version shows up soon, on par with the usual length we get for these.
it will - they did a short version of the login music with Dragonflight similar to this - the longer version showed up 1 or 2 weeks later.
Its like Wow + Skyrim + Game of Thrones music themes
The music is everything. Gave me chills, nostalgia, expectations, and it gives a sense of urgency. I have to say I actually really like the artwork, and I hope it will change over time as many are speculating it will.
I really love the Nordic vibe there! 00:49 I love the transition!

one thing that has never got worse since the beginning of wow is the Music Soundtracks they always deliver gold =)
0:48 This is one of the best themes in world of warcraft. period.
Check out the FF14 Heavensward intro cutscene music, it is shockingly similar
It sounds kinda like that one song that was used for the isle of thunder patch trailer
@@nateyoung925 Or Shadowbringers theme at 1:50
OMG I am so hyped right now.
Can't wait to listen to the whole score
just put hallowfall or sargeras sword into the login screen
edit: maybe its gonna be an dynamic login screen and changes with lore progress or each patch. (also for some reason it looks like an eye to me)
This
Sargeras' sword is referenced in the cinematic but never (so far) in TWW gameplay.. wouldnt really fit. (NO, the crystal in Hallowfall is NOT THE F**KING SWORD, no matter how many times morons repeat it). For one thing, its in the wrong place on the globe.

@@Th3DutchZombi3 It's the first thing you see every day that you log in for like 2 years my guy. It should look better than this.
No matter how many centuries pass the music from wow never disappointed
Wow der soundtrack ist ja Weltklasse. WORLD Class Sound
Might be the best title screen music they've made up.
Every time, every expansion's music is brilliant! The soul of the Warcraft universe
Damn this masterpiece itself makes me reaaallly want to come back in War Within, i loved the trailer but realy good music as always
0:48 God, that is so good.
As I keep saying in other WoW comments, we are so back, baby! :')
AUGH!!!!!!!! It feels so good to hear this style of Login Music again, Dragonflight's was just such a letdown.
Forget all of the new features, the abilities, the dungeons, the story..It usually comes down to the login screen for whether or not I return to WoW for a new expansion.. 😁
0:15 - You are about to turn in your report last hour written with chatgpt
Back to the roots ...love it
Anyone else prefer this one over the updated one?
Hell yea, Wowhead delivers!
I feel like over the world soul saga the login screen will gradually change
can't wait for the entire post playlist
Short and sweet, I like it.
This music SLAPPSSSSS. Ready for the world soul saga
I can't wait to listen to track using that loop from 0:49 as a main motive.
ill miss you alexstrasza and your actual onscreen animations
Already in love with this great soundtrack main title for the next expansion.
Ahh.. Good old theme. I really miss it.
new login screen looks simple but i like it 👍
WoW music always brings me chills, this song continues on in the tradition.
This music kind of reminds me of the bfa music. At least the beginning
This hits the soul.
Absolutely stunning
Wouldnt it be great if the planet was fine at first and then it slowly cracks up with noises 🔥🔥🔥
it's very good. And that's a good thing, since we're gonna spend a loooot of time with it trying to log on in the first few days - ziiinnnnnnnnnng!
I think they kept it simple because the Real loading screen is going to be your 4 character Warband sitting around some awesome setting with the same music anyway lol.
Somehow this hits me as good as the WOTLK expansion back then. Right in the feels!
login screen is meh, but that music and new theme is absolutely * chefs kiss* love it
The one consistently excellent thing about WoW is the music
I like how they produce the same Music everytime - but everytime its diffrent then before
The music reminds me a bit the 5.2 cinematic, with Lei Shen story
Really like this main theme! So beautiful, fresh and nostalgic at the same time!
Best Main title track hands down
Easily the best track standing proudly beside classic, wotlk, mop and legion !
Ngl, If you ask me the Main Title Music is so good that it pays for the simple login screen.
server down vibes 😆 - can't beat that original motif and melody
Some GoT vibes mixed with nostalgia. Epic.
It sounds very tragic. Something is definitely gonna go down in the War Within.
HAHA I GET IT
Old flare an new flare blended an mix perfectly they nailed it
The music in WoW means everything to me; it is what makes this MMORPG stand out from all others. 🧡✨️
The best variation since 2004's classic "Legends Of Azeroth"
Kinda love new login screen tbh, simply and minimalistic
Creator: Blizzard Entertainment
Quality: EPIC!
Expires in: NEVER!!!
😎
Amazing version. Best since the original!
If everything in this expansion matches the music, then this could be the best expansion ever! This song is epic!
Anduin & Thrall reunited
Music is very important in films, TV shows, and video games, and Blizzard never disappoints when it comes to soundtracks.
much more canonical than df's. love those vibes. goosebumps
0:48 This is 100% the new theme for Anduin getting the light back. It screams redemption. Or it's thrall's new theme when he becomes a shaman again.
