The first public showing of cinematic material for Cataclysm will hit the screens Sunday night during an NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. Its a shame this is US only Blizzard should look at thorowing up some commercials during real football matches between the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea!

This is the official announcement from the forums:

This Sunday, during the Dallas Cowboys versus Minnesota Vikings NFL game on Fox (starts at 4:15 PM EDT, 1:15 PM PDT), we are debuting a new television commercial for World of Warcraft’s upcoming expansion. The commercial will feature the first look at cinematic footage from Cataclysm, so tune in to an exciting game this Sunday and catch the new commercial!

The clip above shows the new tree of life form that’s going to hit with Cataclysm.  Its a much needed upgraded to the frankly, old and crap design that’s been in the game for years.  One of the main issues I’ve had with Druids is being stuck in some form 90% of the time, it really puts me off playing the class.  Its the only class I’ve never managed to get past level 20 at least.  Its about time Blizzard got round to changing the appearance of some of the older models brining the game into 2010!

This new form really does look sweet though I must admit, sure there’s going to be 1000′s of people looking exactly the same after a while, but then don’t we all end up looking the same after we’re all decked out in tier 11 armour and above haha!

Great shot of a majestic Orc fortress in what remains of the Southern Barrens.  It makes me sick to see that alliance banner flying in the zone, sick to the core!

I think this looks like Stonetalon Mountains?  I could be wrong? Maybe you can put me right?

This is the Tanaris docks, or rather what’s left of them.  If only those Goblins had rolled Druids….oh wait, Goblins and Druids don’t mix.  Unlucky for them I guess.

I always did like Finding Nemo.

But this is something very different, its Vashj’ir, not exactly a very friendly place.  Having said that it looks friendly enough :P

Check out the other daily Cataclysm screenshots below.  Love it.

There was me thinking the good old Goblin race track from Thousand Needles had been removed in favour for that speed boat racing thing.  well I guess not!  Its just been relocated to Azshara.  Its either that or this is some type of high rise motorway.

This is the offciial press release for zone changes in the coming expansion.  Its not a long clip and mainly shows mostly horde realted content.  But look at Orgrimmar, it looks absolutly insane!

Now come on, did you ever expect Grim Batol to look all nice and welcoming?Looks pretty menacing to me.  Check out our other Cataclysm screenshots below.
