Mists of Pandaria Launches September 25, 2012 – Pre-Sales NOW OPEN

Heroes of Azeroth, prepare to embark for an exotic new frontier! World of Warcraft®: Mists of Pandaria™ is launching on September 25, 2012 and you can be ready to play when the servers go live by pre-purchasing the game digitally. Plus, for the first time ever, players will have the option to upgrade a pre-purchase to the all-new Digital Deluxe Edition which comes with all of the in-game items from the retail Collector’s Edition, including a World of Warcraft pet and mount, banner sigil and accent for Diablo® III, and Battle.net® portraits for StarCraft® II.

Beginning September 25, 2012, World of Warcraft players around the world will be able to set sail for the long-lost continent of Pandaria, where they’ll explore forgotten dungeons, vanquish risen evils, and play their part in the Horde-Alliance conflict as it reaches a critical breaking point.

Whether you plan to level your existing character to 90 or start fresh with a new pandaren monk, it’s never too early to begin preparing for your adventure. Simply log in to your Battle.net® account, and then pre-purchase Mists of Pandaria. You’ll then be flagged to automatically download the expansion content prior to release so you’ll be ready to go when the game launches.

During the pre-purchase process, you’ll have the option to grab either the Mists of Pandaria Standard Edition for $39.99 USD or the all-new Digital Deluxe edition for $59.99 USD -- or, if you snag the standard edition now and decide you want to upgrade to Digital Deluxe later, you’ll have the opportunity to do so for an additional $20.

The Digital Deluxe edition includes a full digital copy of the expansion, as well as a selection of Pandaria-inspired in-game content for World of Warcraft, Diablo III, and StarCraft II. If you’re looking for even more plunder, a special Mists of Pandaria Collector’s Edition with additional bonus items will also be available exclusively at select retail locations for a suggested retail price of $79.99 USD.

For more details on the September 25, 2012 release of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, be sure to hit the official press release, or head to our new Mists of Pandaria game page to learn more about the expansion and prepurchase your digital copy.

*When you pre-purchase World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, you will be able to download an encrypted version of the game once it’s available, prior to the game’s release. This content will be unlocked and available for play when the expansion launches on September 25, 2012.

For everyone talking about this game launching on their birthday (it's my b-day too... sigh...):

Count back exactly 9 months from your birthday and realize what holiday that is. You're parents were exchanging some VERY special gifts, lol. :P

@Infecton: Rush it? Gaming companies always release around the same time of their competitors... it's pretty much always like that. Besides the expansion is pretty much done in beta so it's not like they are rushing broken content.

@Dawnsky: Come on now, BC January 2007, WOTLK, released in November 2008, and Cata, released in December 2010. And they just said OH man let's release in the middle of the year. But w/e besides that, maybe you don't play the Beta to find bugs but my friend and I do just that. and I can tell you it's still needs some more fine tuning, in the issue of class balancing and ability bugs.

@Infecton: WoW has a sub fee, GW2 doesn't. Buy both. If you can't afford to, pick one and ignore the other. It's not that difficult to do.

@Infecton: Bugs don't take a lot of effort to fix... and there is still 2 months left before the launch... if you have no faith in Blizzard to fix those bugs before launch you should just stop playing. And if you weren't listening at the last BlizzCon Blizzard stated that they wanted to start pushing out more expansions sooner than normal to keep their playerbase engaged in new content.

@Infecton: they are releasing it because its almost done with beta and havent had new content in over 9 months, in other words they are due for the new expansion.

@Dawnsky: LOL have you not been playing Blizzard game? They take ages to fix simply bugs and that's undeniable.
@Yabba: I know and I already bought both GW2 and MoP Deluxe(<-just now) and I will be playing both. But I was just saying. is all.

@Infecton: You're an ignorant idiot. You're probably not even 90 in beta.

@Infecton: You do realize that even the most simplest of bug fixes can end up breaking other things? You have to implement a fix and then test the hell out of it to make sure that not only it works, but that nothing else breaks. Now think about how many bugs there could be in a game this massive. Would you really want to keep pumping out tiny patches to fix small amounts of bugs, causing the chances of other bugs to pop up (or annoying your player base by patching every week)?

@Infecton: "Why u always gotta put your releases a few days before/after another MMO launch?" GW2 comes out 8/28. MoP comes out 9/25. About an entire month of separation. So...I suppose you have a very wide definition of a few days.
