A new Mists of Pandaria screenshot has randomly appeared in the Cataclysm screenshot gallery on the Blizzard site today. (Update: It's the start of the MoP Screenshot of the Day program.)
How do we know it's an MoP screenshot? Because there are four pandaren in it.
We also see some large, raid-type portal doors, which are clearly Asian-themed. The whole screenshot has a jungle feel to it and looks like it might come out of The Jade Forest, which is a new 85-to-86 zone. The doors are also identical to the ones in the Temple of the Jade Serpent dungeon. The Temple is the very first instance players will encounter in MoP.
Check out the larger version for even more win.
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is the next expansion, raising the level cap to 90, introducing a brand new talent system, and bringing forth the long-lost pandaren race to both Horde and Alliance. Check out the trailer and follow us for all the latest MoP news!

I am so loving the art style for Mists so far. It just looks like there's such an attention paid to little details, and that's part of what makes this game so fun for me. Also, that willow tree looks beautiful.

Same here. Screw all the naysayers. I'm loving everything I've seen of Pandaria so far :)

I think I'm going to enjoy questing again.

Me too. I always enjoyed asian aesthetics and landscapes. And now we're getting an expansion full of it.
BTW, I don't think that's the entrance to a raid. There would be a raid portal in that case.

It reminds me of Cantha... except with lower resolution graphics...

I love the trees!

Oooo maybe it's a shot of the Pandaren capital city or some other such stronghold? A big gate and a roving patrol would seem to indicate it. LOVE the look and detail of these buildings.

I doubt that since Blizz said they were trying to move away from capitol cities in Mists. I'm guessing it's a gate between zones or a quest hub (like a monastery)... or the Pandaren's take on the Great Wall of China.

I've always loved sitting underneath willow trees, so I suspect that that, or somewhere else with such a tree, will become my new Place of Relaxation in MoP.

That's amazing.

The two pandaren walking down the path appear to be guards of some kind. I have a feeling what we're looking at is part of one of MoP's capital cities.

Anyone else zoom in to make sure they were all male pandaren, and not a tiny teaser glimpse of the lady? ;)

Could also bet fat Worgen. Just sayin' :P
giorgi Mar 13th 2012 1:26PM

This looks like a peacfull expantion, and then the hord and alliance trampled through burning it all down into ash with war. Sounds like the american colonies and expantion vs indians
