While Blizzard Entertainment are still keeping the release date of the third World of Warcraft expansion, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, under wraps, they did announce the contents of the Collector's Edition today. In addition to the game (yes, it's included!) you will get the following goodies:
· Art of the Cataclysm art book, featuring 176 pages of never-before-seen images from the archives of the Blizzard Entertainment cinematics department and the World of Warcraft development team, as well as progressive visuals from multiple stages of development.
· Exclusive in-game pet: he may not be a breaker of worlds just yet, but Lil' Deathwing will still proudly accompany heroes on their struggle to save Azeroth from his much, much larger counterpart.
· Behind-the-scenes DVD with over an hour of developer interviews and commentaries, as well as a special Warcraft® retrospective examining the rich gaming history of the Warcraft universe.
· Soundtrack featuring 10 epic new tracks from Cataclysm, including exclusive bonus tracks.
· Special-edition mouse pad depicting Deathwing menacing the ravaged continents of Azeroth.
· World of Warcraft Trading Card Game cards, including a 60-card starter deck from the Wrathgate series, two extended-art cards, and two Collector's Edition-exclusive hero cards, marking the first appearance of goblin and worgen heroes in the TCG.
The suggested retail price of the Collector's Edition is €69.99.
The release date of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will be announced in the coming months according to the press release. It is still expected to hit store shelves later this year.
