The third expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s incredible massively multiplayer online RPG, World of Warcraft, has been stamped with a release date of December 7th, 2010 – the date that players will finally be able to test their skills against the mighty ‘Deathwing the Destroyer’ in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Truly amazing - Blizzard’s video production team keeps churning out the goods:
