Blizzard Entertainment has finally announced the release date of the 4th expansion of World of Warcraft® entitled Mists of Pandaria™. Mark your calendars! The grand date is Tuesday, 25th of September 2012!
For the first time ever (officially that is), we will be able to see and interact with the long-lost continent of Pandaria, the fabled secret kingdom of the Panda race that withdrew from the world after the Kaldorei misused and abused and played with magic (especially the Well of Eternity). Seeing that it will spell trouble, the Pandarens disappeared.
