World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Has Finally Got A Release Date In China

Seven months after Cataclysm was released in the Western world, and China are finally getting their chance to play the new expansion (new to them at least)

As we all know China isn’t exactly the easiest country in the world to get a video game approved, and it’s especially hard to get an MMORPG into the country. I’m sure people remember the fun they had with the second expansion “Wrath of the Lich King”. This took almost two years from the time it was released over here for it to be approved in China. So I’m sure it comes as a great surprise to all the Chinese players that it has only taken 7 months for Cataclysm to finally make its way across the border.

Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard Entertainment said this
while speaking about the news. “We've always appreciated Chinese gamers' passion and support for World of Warcraft, and we're excited that they'll soon be able to enjoy all of the great new content this expansion has to offer."

Hopefully, I'm talking on behalf of all the Chinese players in the world, this news will mean that the next expansion to the most popular MMORPG in history will only take a couple of months to be approved, and the one after that may actually be released the same time we get. Here hoping for you China.
