The expansion will be available in Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on November 18. Details regarding the launch of Wrath of the Lich King in mainland China will be announced at a later date.
We're looking forward to launching Wrath of the Lich King and finally giving World of Warcraft players a chance to take on Arthas and his minions, said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard entertainment. Until then, we'll continue to refine and playtest the expansion content to make sure it provides a highly polished and entertaining experience.
