World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria announced
New expansion for WoW has been announced at BlizzCon 2011
Blizzard Entertainment has announced plans for the fourth expansion to World of Warcraft, its award-winning MMORPG. Unveiled to a sold-out crowd at the company’s BlizzCon gaming festival, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria lifts the fog of mystery surrounding a long-lost continent that has been newly rediscovered following the events of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
The new expansion reintroduces the elusive pandaren, originally seen in Blizzard’s real-time strategy game Warcraft III, as a playable race and adds a brand-new player class: the martial-arts-focused Monk. While exploring the mysteries of an exotic new land and advancing to the new level cap of 90, players will experience a range of new content and game features, including new quests and dungeons, group scenarios and “challenge” modes, pet battles, and more.
"Players have been asking to see the pandaren in World of Warcraft since the game’s launch, and we’re excited to finally be able to give them a proper re-introduction to Azeroth,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “In addition to the new playable race and class, Mists of Pandaria contains a huge amount of new content, and we’re looking forward to sharing more information about all of it at BlizzCon and beyond.”
In the upcoming expansion, players will be able to explore the long-lost continent of Pandaria, which has remained hidden from the world since the sundering of Azeroth over ten thousand years ago. In the aftermath of the Cataclysm played out in World of Warcraft’s third expansion, Pandaria’s heroes are emerging from their land’s lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains to choose sides in the escalating war between the Alliance and the Horde and to share the extraordinary secrets of their ancient martial arts.
Launched in November 2004, World of Warcraft is one of the world’s most popular MMORPGs. The game’s third expansion, Cataclysm, sold more than 3.3 million copies within its first 24 hours of availability, and went on to sell more than 4.7 million copies in its first month. Mists of Pandaria is set to release some time in 2012.
