On November 13, 2008, your definition of epic will be shattered! The Lich King unleashes his fury on Azeroth as the second expansion to World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, hits store shelves at midnight on November 13 in North America.*

At four special midnight launch events across the U.S., Blizzard Entertainment developers and executives will be on hand to celebrate the arrival of the expansion with players and sign copies of the game. In California, the GameStop on Powell St. in San Francisco and the Fry's in Anaheim will open their doors at midnight (all times are local). In Austin, TX, the GameStop at 10000 Research Blvd. will do the same. If you’re in New York City, you can attend the East Coast midnight opening festivities at the Best Buy near Times Square.
