Blizzard Comments on Chinese WoW Issues

As we reported earlier, the Chinese government was blocking (and is still blocking) World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King. Blizzard responds, denying that there’s any issue.

“As a matter of practice, we don’t comment on rumours and speculation,” the company replied to GamesIndustry.biz. “World of Warcraft continues to operate as normal in mainland China, and we’re continuing to work with our local partner, The9, toward the launch of Wrath of the Lich King there.

“An official announcement will be made once it’s ready to go.”
