4. Pandaren in Warcraft

World of Warcraft - Mists of Pandaria

What was this April Fools’ joke? In 2002, Blizzard announced the Pandaren as the supposedly fifth race for the strategy game Warcraft 3. However, it was on April 1.

What eventually came of it? For the World of Warcraft expansion Mists of Pandaria, Blizzard brought the Pandaren back from the mothballs. They actually became a playable race, though not in Warcraft 3, but in the MMORPG.

Initially, fans of WoW thought this was a joke, but now the adorable bears belong to the more popular races in the game.
