PARIS, France -- Blizzard Entertainment® today announced that the release date for World of Warcraft®: The Burning Crusade™, the highly anticipated expansion for World of Warcraft, will be in January 2007. By adding a few extra weeks to the development cycle beyond its original target date, Blizzard will be able to extend the closed beta test and further refine the new content that will ship with the game.

“We appreciate the enthusiasm surrounding World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, and we’re excited about putting the finishing touches on all of the new content,” said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We feel confident that the extra time spent polishing the game will result in the high-quality experience that our players expect and deserve.”

Blizzard began the closed-beta phase of testing on World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade earlier this month. The January 2007 release window will allow extra time for current beta testers to participate in the final stages of development and continue providing valuable feedback.

Further information on specific worldwide release dates, pricing, and other details will be announced in the near future.

    Does this suprise anyone?
    I thought they would delay it a month, but January is better than March.
    I would rather have it shipped later with fewer bugs.

    3 months ago I predicted a March release...... even January will be optimistic if they find they can't easily resolve the Beta issues.   Heck, they still have a level 67 level cap on the beta testers... and 68 is where all the new class skills come to play... (and 70 for the highest instances)

    I also thought it would also be released in Mid 2007. Blizz has a issue for not having good testing for example patch 1.12. Blizzard loves to listen to the player base, but does not know when to cut them out. This leads to more and more changes, and like 1.12 if they released it in Nov, would have players screaming for fix's. I would love to see how the ex pack is going to look, and play, but I rather have Blizz take there time and make it playable right off the bat.
