With the opening of the Dark Portal, and the renewed war to stop the Burning Crusade's destruction of worlds, the heroes of Azeroth have given little thought to the frozen wastes of Northrend. And the terrible, ancient powers that wait there. Yet the brooding evil of the fallen Nerubian empire and their malevolent sovereign have not forgotten Azeroth.

The former death knight and now Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life in Azeroth as his undead armies and the necromantic power of the plague threaten to sweep across the land. Only the mightiest heroes can survive the frozen northlands with any hope of disrupting the plans of Arthas--and perhaps even challenge the Lich King himself and end his reign of terror for all time

Blizzard Entertainment's Latest expansion to World of Warcraft--Wrath of the Lich King--opens up the harsh, icy continent of Northrend for adventuring and exploration. New levels of power will be achieved as players quest their way to the extended level cap of 80--and then use all of their newly won might to battle the undead armies of the fallen Nerubian empire. Ultimately players must face the dread Lich King Arthas himself.


 * The dark, necromatic Death Knight - the first new character class added to World of Warcraft since its launch.
 * Northrend, the harsh, icy continent where the Lich King holds rule, complete with new zones, quests, items and monsters.
 * New level cap of 80 providing access to mighty new powers and talents
 * New battlegrounds featuring siege engine warfare and destructable buildings
 * Expanding character customisation options including new hairstyles & dances, the ability to change the hairstyles of existing characters, and new skin color variants.
