GameStop to Hold Launch Events for Wrath of the Lich King

GameStop has announced that it will be holding a collection of Lunar Game Fests at about 3,500 of its GameStop stores around the country. The events are to celebrate the midnight release of Wrath of the Lich King, the second World of Warcraft expansion pack offered.

The events will start at 10 p.m. local time on Wednesday, November 12th and will include costume, art, and trivia contests. The game will release at 12:01 a.m. and if your city has multiple GameStop stores odds are there is more than one event taking place.

“In a year when we’ve seen a number of major new titles and expansions, we are particularly excited about this release,” said Bob McKenzie, Senior Vice President of Merchandising, GameStop. “World of Warcraft is a global phenomenon and partnering with Blizzard Entertainment for the worldwide release of this expansion lets us truly give power to the players, especially those of Azeroth.”
