World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade

Publisher: Vivendi Universal
Developer: Blizzard
Release Date: Holiday 2006

Last week, six million World of Warcrafters had their noses pressed up against their monitors, eagerly anticipating news of the first WoW expansion: The Burning Crusade. If you've been caught in a cave or something, the new playable Horde race is called the Draenei - mortal enemies of the traitorous Dark Elves.

Even bigger news, Azeroth will gain an entirely new world called Outland, linked via the Dark Portal. This dimensional gateway will send you to a plane of existence that is utterly huge, accessible mainly by using flying mounts.

We'll have a couple of additional updates to look forward to before the big expansion hitsand adds things like outdoor PvP. The Burning Crusade is planned for the 2006 holidays.

Check out the crusade for yourselfhere.
