WORLD OF WARCRAFT®: SHADOWLANDS LAUNCHES LATER THIS YEAR
<player>, thank you for pre-purchasing World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands. We wanted to let you know that we've made the difficult decision to
delay the release of the expansion to later this year.
During this additional time, we'll be focusing on further polishing the overall experience, as well as fine-tuning and balancing aspects of the endgame - helping ensure what's waiting for you on your journey into the Shadowlands meets our high standards and your high expectations. We think you'll enjoy this expansion even more as a result of the extra work, but we understand if you're disappointed by the wait - if you'd prefer a refund
*, please visit our
Customer Support site.
Learn more about the decision in a message from John Hight, executive producer of World of Warcraft, on the WoW website.
In the meantime, we've also announced that starting on
October 13 in the Americas, we'll be
releasing the Shadowlands pre-patch, which lays a lot of the groundwork for the expansion. Thank you for your passion, support, and continued feedback, and we'll see you in the Shadowlands later this year.
- The World of Warcraft team.
