PARIS, France -- Blizzard
Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft®, its
award-winning, subscription-based massively multiplayer online
role-playing game, is to be fully localised in Russian for
release in 2008. The Russian version will be the fifth
officially supported European language, complementing the
existing English, French, German and Spanish versions.
A dedicated Russian-speaking team is currently being assembled
at the Blizzard Europe offices in France and Ireland to ensure
Russian World of Warcraft players will benefit from the same
quality of 24/7 native-language support as other European
players. Roles will include in-game support, offline technical
and customer support, localisation and quality assurance,
community relations, and creation and maintenance of a new
official Russian World of Warcraft website.
"Considering the scale and enthusiasm of the Russian community,
we recognized that offering a dedicated Russian-language version
of World of Warcraft was the next important step for the game in
Europe," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. "We're looking forward to providing an even more
accessible gameplay experience to current and future players.".
