World of Warcraft: Cataclysm revealed at BlizzCon
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm was announced today at BlizzCon 2009, revealing a tiny fragment of what this latest expansion will do for Blizzard’s ultra popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game for PC and Mac. The expansion will offer some new adventures in an Azeroth that has been destroyed by some sort of major world event that was not revealed at press time.
Blizzard also reiterated that Goblins and Worgen will be the new playable races in the expansion and that the game’s level cap will be raised to 85. The new level cap means new high level raids, dungeons, and quests for everyone play. The old world raid dungeons will also be revamped and a new secondary skill called Archaeology will be introduced.
The Goblin will have the Death Knight, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior classes available to them, while the Wargen will have the Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock and Warrior classes as options.
In fact, with the new expansion new class combinations will be available for different races: Orcs will gain access to the Mage class, Taurens can now be Paladins and Priests, Undead can be Hunters, Trolls can be Druids, Humans can be Hunters, Dwarf pick up Shaman and Mage, Night Elf gains Mage, and Gnomes can finally be Priests.
We’ll have nore information on this and other breaking news coming out of BlizzCon as it happens. In the meantime, check out Blizzard’s freshly launched World of Warcraft: Cataclysm web site.
