World of Warcraft (also known as WOW) has successfully created an undeniable buzz inside the gaming world. A lot of gamers and fanatics of Warcraft have long been anticipating the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. The question that was left unanswered directly is when it should be really finally released?
Cataclysm is supposed to be the first of World of Warcraft’s expansion that would not introduce another new continent. On the other hand, it will give access to new islands and then inaccessible land areas. Its gameplay will be set in renovated, already existing zones of the present gameplay locations and in unreleased zones as well. The renovation will be explained by the restoration of Azeroth because of a “cataclysmic” event (thus the name of the expansion), as an effect to the actions of Azshara and Deathwing. Catclysm is expected to give additional phasing and daily quests as well, and also, a flying ability.
Interestingly enough, its release date for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is yet to be concretized and specified. During the announcement of this third expansion in the BlizzCon 2009, it was said that the target release date is within the year 2010. The rumored November 1, 2010 release date is said to be just placeholders that are posted in GameStop and Amazon.com for pre-order catalogs for the game.
There are few varying estimations and clues as to when Blizzard, the maker of World of Warcraft, will release Cataclysm. As for Brady Games’ official WoW strategy guide, they present a release date of October 26, 2010. We can also assume that Blizzard would want WoW Cataclysm to be ready for purchase in the market in time for Thanksgiving shopping. Nonetheless, Blizzard’s CEO Mike Morhaime would not go far beyond confirming that Cataclysm is indeed going to be released sometime in 2010.
What the game fans could hold on to however, is the seemingly patterned interval release schedule that Blizzard has been exhibiting so far—every 4th quarter of the year. But it must also taken into note that long term schedules as such are bound to change.
One thing is for sure—whenever the exact release is going to happen, gamers could do nothing but wait. And while waiting, maybe we could keep our fingers crossed that everything is all worth waiting for after all.
