"In addition to revitalizing some of the most familiar and iconic areas of the game world, this third World of Warcraft expansion will add new features and a large amount of new content for players to explore," said Blizzard CEO and cofounder Mike Morhaime in a press release.

Fans are already drooling over the wealth of new goodies, headlined by the introduction of two new races to Warcraft's formidable lore: Goblins and the werewolf-ish Worgen. The game will also establish new class/race combinations and allow players to reach Level 85.
