Blizzard Entertainment’s new expansion pack for the overwhelming popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft has sold a worldwide total of 2.4 million.
This impressive sales figure means World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade has become the fastest-selling PC game ever.
“The Burning Crusade has already exceeded even our most ambitious expectations,” said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re pleased that so many players are eager to see all of the new content that the expansion has to offer, and we look forward to seeing everyone online as additional players continue to upgrade in the days ahead.”
Prior to the launch of The Burning Crusade, World of Warcraft was played by more than 8 million players around the world – with more than 2 million on North American realms and more than 1.5 million on European realms – making it the most successful subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game in PC-gaming history.
