WoW News

With the Italian-language version of World of Warcraft coming soon, we’ll be opening two new Italian realms in Europe. We look forward to welcoming many new and returning Italian-speaking players, and invite them to experience World of Warcraft in their native language.

We’ve updated our Trading Card Game art gallery to feature ten new pieces. Each image is taken directly from the official World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. We've also added fan art and a new community comic to the gallery.

It won’t be long until the adventure through the exotic land of Pandaria begins. To count down the moments before you arrive at this new frontier, we’ll be sharing exclusive content on our World of Warcraft Facebook page every day for 12 days until Mists of Pandaria launches. Beginning September 14, visit our Facebook timeline for exclusive music, videos, behind-the-scenes interviews, Warcraft hero bios, desktop wallpapers, and more.

The Battle.net World Championship event — the culmination of the over 30 StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS) tournaments, and home to the upcoming World of Warcraft Arena global finals — will take place November 17 and 18 in Shanghai, China. With so many talented players competing to be crowned 2012’s world champion, we want to see faces from all over the world live, in the crowd, and cheering on their hometown heroes.

In the near future we’ll open up tickets sales for the event.

The upcoming novel, Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War, will be on store shelves this Friday. August 24^th. This novel is the bridge between Cataclysm and the upcoming events in Mists of Pandaria. Read an excerpt from the novel, listen to the first chapter of the Audio Book, and check out the preview interview with Chris Metzen and author Christie Golden on The Instance. 

We spent an amazing five days at gamescom this year, and we’d again like to thank everyone who visited us at the Blizzard booth! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Prepare for Pandaria with epic savings! This week only, you can get the World of Warcraft Battle Chest for €5 (£4 GBP), Wrath of the Lich King for €5 (£4 GBP), and Cataclysm for €10 (£8 GBP) when you buy directly from Blizzard.
