Blizzard Entertainment today announced that World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, the third expansion for the MMORPG, has shipped to stores nationwide for the PC. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is also offered as a digital download through Battle.net account management.

In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing has returned, and the world has been reshaped by the devastation left in his wake. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races — worgen and goblins — join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. Players can now begin their journey to the new level cap of 85, discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.
