Blizzplanet has discovered what appears to be confirmation of Blizzard Entertainment's next expansion for the ever popular World of Warcraft. A recent United States Patent and Trademark Office listing reveals the game's title as Wrath of the Lich King. This revelation follows on the heels of a similar listing on Germany's USK, an ESRB counterpart.

For months, and almost daily in the past weeks I have been camping the US Patents and Trademarks Office website and the Legendary Pictures website. Around 3am, no updates had appeared. Early today Thursday at 6am EST, I searched through the Blizzard Entertainment copyrights page at US Patent and Trademark Office Website. It is official. The title confirms the next expansion is based on the Northrend Continent.
Head over to Blizzplanet at the link below to read more.

Update: Wrath of the Lich King is now official. Check out the official site at the link below.

Here's a bit more about it from Blizzard's site:

In the cold, harsh northlands...
The Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on Azeroth. With the armies of the undead and the necromantic power of the plague threatening to sweep across the land, only the mightiest heroes can oppose the Lich King's will and end his reign of terror for all time.

Blizzard Entertainment's latest expansion to World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King – adds a host of epic content to the existing game world. Players will achieve soaring levels of power, explore a vast new continent, and battle other high-level heroes to determine the fate of Azeroth. As you pit yourself against the dangers of the north, prepare to:

-Master the necromantic powers of the Death Knight - World of Warcraft's first Hero class.
-Quest to level 80, gaining potent new abilities and talents along the way.
-Learn the craft of spell augmentation with the new Inscription profession.
- Brave the harsh new continent of Northrend, the icy domain of the Lich King.
- Engage in epic siege warfare, deploying mighty siege engines to lay waste to destructible buildings in your path.
- Transform your hero's look with new character-customization options, including new hairstyles and dances.
- Explore perilous new dungeons filled with some of the deadliest creatures -- and greatest treasures -- on Azeroth.
Blizzard has not yet announced the expansion's release date. Keep an eye on IMG for updates.

I'd say this makes it a bit more official:

I wonder if everyone will say "Northrends" when refering to the continent.

Hmm, apparently they left these off... I've fixed it for Blizzard free of charge!

As you pit yourself against the dangers of the north, prepare to:
- grind faction for days on end  :bleedingeyes:  
- deal with insufferable idiots who play WoW 24/7 and hit level 80 in 2 days :cool:
