Smash-hit Blizzard MMO soars to even greater heights; Spanish version under way
It's official--World of Warcraft now has six million active, paying subscribers worldwide.
These stunning numbers--which lately have climbed by nearly 500,000 users per month--are due in no small part to Blizzard's aggressive courtship of a broad, international audience. A Blizzard press release today trumpets the fact that the critically-acclaimed game will be translated to the Spanish language for European players, possibly opening the door for a Spanish-language US version of WoW down the road.
UPDATE: A Blizzard representative told us that the company is "working towards releasing the Spanish version in Spain by the end of [2006]." As for releasing a Spanish-language version of WoW in the US, the representative didn't explicitly rule out such a move but noted that the company doesn't have any further details at the moment.
