Blizzard announced today that on August 6th both World of Warcraft and its expansion, The Burning Crusade, will be released in Russia. These new versions will be fully localized, and Russia-dedicated servers will open with a Russian-language customer-support team. This marks the fifth European language release of World of Warcraft, with English, French, German, and Spanish versions already in place.

“The launch of the Russian-language version reflects our continuing commitment to make World of Warcraft even more accessible for gamers throughout the world,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment
