OH NOES! A Burning Crusade delay rumor

We wish there were less rumors today and more press releases. Makes writing a lot easier, and keeps us from wetting our pants in anticipation. Well, alright… the wetting pants thing is just me. Stupid Halo 3 tease.

ANYWAY. Sources in different places have been coming up with a rumor that the expansion pack for World of Warcraft will be delayed for 2007. Now, there isn’t actually any specific release date for The Burning Crusade to begin with, but everyone and his grandmother is expecting to be in the Outlands by Christmas (GameSpot gives a November 2006 release date).

As far as we can tell, the source of this commotion seems to be someone by the name of LarzJG, and has reached actiontrip.com and the worldofwar forums through it. While the basic information talks about it from a European point of view, and thus a European-specific delay, if Blizzard was intending a worldwide release, then any confirmation of the release being pushed back to 2007 means everyone’s going to have to wait. Of course, Vivendi SA is a video game developer; formerly known as Vivendi Universal”>Vivendi Denmark has no comment, so we’ll have to wait for any official comment to come our way, but right now, an actual delay be as depressing as a death in the family.

In any case, if you’d like to track the different sources, just follow our source link. Let us know if you find something new about this rumor, and we’ll make sure to give you props for hunting down the truth. Till we know more, though, I’ll just twiddle my thumbs and pray.
