Blizzard Entertainment has announced that World of Warcraft now has over 12 million players worldwide. This mark, reached in little under six years since the game’s original launch, was helped by the launch of the expansion Wrath of the Lich King in China and the impending release of the third expansion, Cataclysm, worldwide on December 7.
“The support and enthusiasm that gamers across the world continue to show for World of Warcraft reaffirms our belief that it offers one of the best entertainment values available today,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We are as committed as ever to taking the game to new heights, and we look forward to demonstrating that with Cataclysm in December.”
