Blizzard has stated previously that it intends to announce an expansion every year until the end of time and, if The Burning Crusade is anything to be believed, it's likely that players will playing in Outland as the next expansion goes into beta testing.
With the third expansion to its 12-million-subscriber-strong massively multiplayer online role-playing game on store shelves last week, Blizzard has confirmed that the streak has continued. Today Blizzard, the Activision sister company revealed the fact that WoW Cataclysm Classic: Cataclysm sold more than 3.3 million units across both digital and retail channels within the first 24 hours of its release. Blizzard says that this rate gives Cataclysm it the status of "fastest-selling PC game of all time."
The third expansion of the most rated MMORPG Cataclysm includes numerous exciting new options to the game. The most significant change is the complete overhaul of the game's in-game world. Azeroth has been destroyed and the most popular locations are drastically changed and the old one is now new once more. The expansion raises the cap on leveling up at 85. It also introduces two additional races to the game that are goblins and Worgen.
The year of 2014 has been one of the best for Blizzard. In July the Irvine studio based in California launched Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty which was the initial installment in a series of three releases for its sci-fi, real-time strategy franchise. The game was sold out to 1.5 million within just 48 days of its release, and was reaching 3 million players in the month of September.
Blizzard hasn't yet begun discussing the next expansion of WoW Cataclysm Classic, even considering that the possibility of adding add-ons to the MMORPG will continue "as as long that the Internet is online." According to what appears to be a leak of a release calendar, Blizzard intends to launch Cataclysm's successor during the period between April and June 2012.
The company is based in Shanghai. The9. com was the winner of the bidding war last year between Chinese game companies vying to win the right to introduce Blizzard entertainment's WoW Cataclysm Classic to the expanding market of gamers online in China The9.com has today announced the localized version of the massively multiplayer role-playing game for its own market.
