Blizzard Entertainment will showcase World of Warcraft, its upcoming mutiplayer online role-playing game set in the rich fiction of the Warcraft universe, to the UK public next month. Visitors to Game Stars Live, the major consumer gameplay event taking place from 1st to 5th September at London's ExCeL centre, will have the opportunity to play the US closed-beta version of the game and experience the vibrant world of Azeroth firsthand. World of Warcraft will be presented on stand no.
In World of Warcraft, players assume the roles of legendary Heroes and interact with thousands of other players online as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. Whether journeying together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.
Building on the success of the Warcraft series, Blizzard hopes to expand the MMORPG genre by creating an immersive and user-friendly experience that will appeal to both veteran gamers and casual players alike. World of Warcraft takes place three years following the aftermath of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. As the various races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and terrifying, have arisen to plague the world once again.
Game features include:
- Immense, detailed world spanning miles of terrain and featuring hundreds of familiar locations throughout the rich Warcraft universe, as well as all-new, uncharted territories.
- Thousands of quests that drive gameplay and provide countless opportunities for adventure and heroism.
- Regular content updates created by an ongoing live development team that continuously designs new lands, quests, and monsters.
- Thousands of items, including rare and unique weapons and armor with which to customize your character's appearance and abilities.
- Numerous character classes, each with its own distinctive style of play and multiple paths for development.
- A revolutionary secondary-skill system that allows players to create truly original characters with unique combinations of abilities.
- Multiple races to choose from, including Night Elves, Humans, Orcs, Tauren, Dwarves, Undead, Trolls, and Gnomes.
- Several personal modes of transportation, including horses, wolves, and more.
- Quick and easy travel throughout the world aboard Gryphons, Wyverns, Ships, and Zeppelins.
- Instanced zones that create personal combat and adventure experiences for you and your companions.
