Suramar is one of the most beautiful places in World of Warcraft. But this render version pales in comparison to the original.
Players of World of Warcraft often ask the question: What would a WoW 2 look like? How would World of Warcraft look in the Unreal Engine? The past has already provided some examples, such as:

What is Suramar? Suramar was not only an endgame area of the last expansion “Legion” but also one of the largest story areas Blizzard has ever implemented. Today, Suramar is the starting zone of the Nightborne, an allied race of the Horde.
The end result of lornek’s efforts is the city of the Nightborne in high-resolution quality. Additionally, there are better lighting effects, making Suramar shine in a completely new light.
