IRVINE, Calif., Oct 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft(R): Cataclysm(TM), the highly anticipated third expansion for the world's most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game*, will be released starting on December 7, 2010. The expansion will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows(R) XP/Windows Vista(R)/Windows(R) 7 and Macintosh(R) at a suggested retail price of $39.99 and will also be offered as a digital download from the Blizzard Store. A special Collector's Edition packed with bonus items will be available exclusively in retail stores for a suggested retail price of $79.99.

"Cataclysm includes the best content we've ever created for World of Warcraft. It's not just an expansion, but a re-creation of much of the original Azeroth, complete with epic new high-level adventures for current players and a redesigned leveling experience for those just starting out," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "With the help of our beta testers, we're putting on the final polish, and we look forward to welcoming gamers around the world to enjoy it in just a couple of months."

The first two World of Warcraft expansions, The Burning Crusade(R) and Wrath of the Lich King(R), each shattered PC game sales records upon their release.* In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races — worgen and goblins — will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.

The beta test for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is currently underway. Visit the official Battle.net(R) website at http://www.battle.net to set up a Battle.net account and sign up for a chance to participate.

    I find it alarming that the release date was under our noses for a few months now...

    An Operation: Gnomeregan announcement featured a quote from Mekkatorque's combat medical advisor, stating the likelihood of a cataclysmic event happening was less than 12.7%.

    http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...nomeregan2.xml

    Now either 12.7% = 12/7 is a really huge coincidence, or...

    Oh thank god. Another two months of respite and mindless superheroan~ in CoH. After an eternity of ICC and DPS meters and the same stupidity over and over and over again, it'll be nice to take a break and parade around in smashing tights beating up muggers and come back to a completely fresh, new game, even if the husband and I can't initially afford Cata. (Eighty bucks, even for a digital download, can still make the budget pinch in between the groceries and household bills when in this job market only one of us is working.)

    It's good to hear it officially, though.

    I just want to say that in Russian Federation with 1C-Softclub distribution Cataclysm will cost 399 RUR or you can just split it by 30..and receive 13$

    I just noticed that because what will we receive for 3 times lesser cost?

    Let the waiting commence.
    I'd also much rather step out to go buy the game in the store than wait for hours for a wonky download to finish.

    LOL all this "I'm going to cancel my sub blizz" or "I have already canceled mine" let me give you blizz's response to that.

    "Dear player who we couldn't be bothered to remember your name

    We don't give a fck that you canceled your sub. While we make several million dollars a month, we know that you "think" your 15$ is somehow impacting us. Let me take the time to inform you that you are wrong. Now go quietly save up your money to buy our next expansion, because let's be honest you can QQ all you want, but you WILL buy it. What's more, you WILL be happy to buy it. Or don't, see how much that hurts us. LOL@U NOOB"

    Do you get the point yet? Do you think walmart cares if you buy you bread somewhere else? Do you think Philip Morris cares if you stop smoking? Hell no, so please stop acting like you matter to blizz at all. You don't.
