Being my usual late self, this will no doubt be information to none but the three of you who don’t already read WoW news feeds religiously. World of Warcraft’s upcoming expansion has been leaked, along with several details of the title. Titled Cataclysm, very little is known about the upcoming expansion, although much is being speculated. Going off of the title’s name, all of the speculation reaches one point: There is going to be massive change to the world of Azeroth, possibly having to do with the previous expansion; Wrath of the Lich King.
The expansion will also open up two new races to players. Joining the horde are the Goblins, while the Alliance will be receiving the Wolf-like Worgen species.
I don’t think I need to reiterate just how successful WoW has been in terms of sales of not only the game, but the expansion. Since its release last year, Wrath of the Lich King hasn’t as much as shuddered from the top of the PC sales charts, and the announcement of another expansion will only boost sales more and reinvigorate interest in players who had long since left. At this point, an expansion to WoW is like a billionare deciding to buy yet another country whose GDP barely stands up to his monthly profits.
