I’m pretty sure the developers at Blizzard liked Snowpiercer a lot, because one of the new dungeons in the upcoming expansion will be something similar. Most of the time we’ll be fighting on a huge, moving train of the Iron Horde.
Gnomes had submarines in Warcraft II, there’s the Gunship Battle in the Icecrown Citadel raid, and don’t forget the Deeprun Tram that connects Ironforge and Stormwind City. So a technologically advanced giant orcish train fits just right in.
This 5-man dungeon is called Grimrail Depot, and an early version of it is already playable in Warlords of Draenor‘s beta. Here’s Fatboss and their team fighting through the whole thing. Hopefully the novelty won’t wear off after a few runs, because this looks really cool.
And here’s a different runthrough by AdriaCraft:

Snowpiercer was alright but the ending was just plain dumb.
We’re goin’ off the rails on the crazy train.
..wait, that song was off The Blizzard of Ozz. I think my brain just crashed from meta-overload.
damn that looks freaking amazing
/choo /choo 😀
Makes me wanna be a WoW gamer cos this is just pure epicness
I didn’t think of snowpiercer – I went full on Adventure time instead – DUNGEON TRAIN!
Is someone going to supplex this train after finishing it?
(Ff6 reference)
Reminded me more of Unreal Tournaments moving battles. Although they weren’t trains just big… truck thingies 😛
I wonder how much it’s going to crush framerates on lower spec systems.
