Wrath of the Lich King Is Here!

For years, the heroes of the Alliance and Horde have fought against the evils in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms,
against the demons of the Burning Legion in Outland, and against each other — all the while unaware that a threat
more dangerous than any they had yet encountered was preparing to make its move in the icy continent of Northrend.
Now the Lich King, Arthas Menethil, has emerged from Icecrown Citadel to claim the world as his own. Heroes of the
Alliance and Horde gather in Northrend to make a stand against the malevolent being that dares to declare himself
Azeroth’s one true king… and seeks to scour all life from the world.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is now live and available at a store near you — you can check out the press release here. Featuring a massive new
continent, the brand-new death knight Hero class, unique dungeons, an open-world PvP zone with siege vehicles and
destructible buildings, and hundreds of brand-new quests, Wrath of the Lich King provides a huge variety of content
for solo and group players. The expansion is available in both a standard and Collector's Edition; find out more
about the latter in our Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition Preview. To learn more about what awaits you in
Northrend, visit our Wrath of the Lich King Features Page and check out the primer to get you started.

During installation of the expansion, you'll be able to upgrade the World of Warcraft account you play to allow access
to Wrath of the Lich King. You can click here to upgrade as well.

Meet the Wizard

At the Diablo III Class Design panel, game director Jay Wilson went into more detail about the game's third playable class, the wizard. A wielder of the elements and a master manipulator of time, the wizard combats the hordes of the Burning Hells by hurling environment-shattering lightning bolts, channeling explosive arcane energies, and creating pockets of space outside the normal flow of time.

To find out more, check out the video introduction or visit the brand-new wizard information page to read the latest excerpt from the journal of Abd al-Hazir and see some of the wizard's powers in action.

We've also expanded the media galleries with four new pieces of artwork and thirteen new screenshots.

Bestiary Update: Scavenger

The Diablo 3 Bestiary now features a new creature from the realm of Sanctuary: the ferocious scavenger.

I had indeed seen scavengers: small, burrowing creatures that feed upon carrion. Unlike most animals of this type, however, they are extremely aggressive and will not hesitate to attack those unfortunate enough to encounter them. Scavengers have powerful legs which they use for swift springing attacks, striking at vulnerable faces and throats.

We've also expanded the media galleries with five new pieces of artwork and seven new screenshots.

Bestiary Update: Dune Thresher

The Diablo 3 Bestiary now features a new creature from the realm of Sanctuary: the terrifying Dune Thresher.

As I was preparing to set pen to paper to begin recording my thoughts at the beginning of my epic undertaking to gather the world's knowledge together in one tome, the hand of providence tapped me on the shoulder. The news that a rogue burrower had killed a citizen just outside the city gave me the wonderful opportunity to see firsthand one of the more disturbing creatures we share this world with – the savage dune thresher.
