The necromantic might of the Lich King gathers in Northrend, and his assault against the heroes of Azeroth will be unleashed on November 13, 2008, when World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King goes on sale throughout North America. The standard edition of the expansion will be available for a suggested retail price of 34,99 €. A special Collector’s Edition, available for 69,99 €, will contain the following bonus items:

For the first time ever, players on live realms will be able to wield the power of the death knight, World of Warcraft’s first hero class. Combining blood, frost, and unholy runes, the death knight offers a new style of gameplay that feels fundamentally different from the other tanking and damage-dealing classes.

Champions of both the Horde and Alliance can also board warships and zeppelins bound for the wintry continent of Northrend, where the Lich King, Arthas Menethil, gathers his horrifying army and sets plans into motion that could bring an end to all life on Azeroth. In Northrend, players will embark on dangerous quests, explore new dungeons, and engage in epic PvP warfare with powerful siege weapons such as lumbering catapults, goblin shredders, and gnomish flying machines. Ultimately heroes from all over Azeroth will face off against the Lich King himself.
