Blizzard has confirmed that World of Warcraft: Cataclysm has set a new sales record as the fastest selling PC game of all time. The expansion sold 3.3 million copies during its first 24 hours, easily eclipsing the mark set by World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King in 2008 with 2.8 million copies.
“We had to bring Azeroth to the brink of destruction in Cataclysm, but the result was our best expansion yet,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We want to thank all of our new, existing, and returning players throughout the world for their incredible enthusiasm and support, and we look forward to hearing what they think about all the new content.”
