It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have word on when Activision Blizzard will release the long-awaited Wrath of the Lich King WoW expansion. For all those elves and dwarves dancing in anticipation, the fateful day will be November 13.

ActiBlizz also filled us in on details about a collector’s edition of the game chock full of goodies. Here’s the rundown in wonderful PR speak:

The Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, a 208-page book featuring never-before-seen images from the game.
An exclusive in-game pet: Frosty, the baby frost wyrm.
A behind-the-scenes DVD containing over an hour of developer interviews, the Wrath of the Lich King intro cinematic with director’s commentary, and more.
The official soundtrack CD, containing 21 epic tracks from the game, along with exclusive bonus tracks.
A mouse pad featuring a map of the newly opened continent of Northrend.
Two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game March of the Legion starter decks, along with two exclusive cards available only in the Collector’s Edition.

As for the expansion itself, it is introducing us to the new continent of Northrend, as well as the Death Knight hero class. The game is also adding achievements and bumping the level cap up to 80.

So just in case you were beginning to develop a social life once more, WoW is here to pull you out of reality and back into the world of dragons and dancing for gold. At least leave a note for your loved ones when you start playing explaining why they won’t see you again for months, otherwise they may start to worry.
