World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm Entering Alpha This Week
We have a few World of Warcraft fans in the office, and to say that we're excited about the game's upcoming third expansion, Cataclysm, is kind of an understatement. Thus our frothing jealousy at the news this weekend that Cataclysm will be entering a "Friends and Family" alpha beginning this week.
WOW.com reports from a number of insider tips that beginning Tuesday, those close enough to Blizzard to receive an invite to the alpha will be able to check out the new content. Of course, alpha means that the expansion is still in an early, unfinalized form, but this does suggest that Blizzard is well on track for releasing the expansion this year.
So, uh...any Blizzard employees in the audience? We're friends, right? Right?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
