WotLK Release Date Announced

Official Wrath of the Lich King Release Date *UPDATED*

Quite unexpectedly Blizzard gave us even more information today regarding the wrath of the lich king release date. Blizzard Entertainment CEO, Mike Morhaime announced in a conference call today that WotLK will be released between October to December of 2008. I’m sure we’ll get additional information regarding more specific dates as time wears on here.

In addition to formally (or at least as formal as we can get at this point) announcing the release date, Mike also had some choice words regarding blizzard’s major “competition”, Age of Conan.

Age of Conan released with some initial success. We did see some of our players leave, [but] about 40% of those players have returned to World of Warcraft.

[We have] a product that has been continually enhanced, expanded and refined for almost four years now.

No word regarding SC2 or D3, Mr. Morhaime simply put,

Heavily in development…
