World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (PC)

An ancient evil lies dormant within Deepholm, the domain of earth in the Elemental Plane.

Hidden away in a secluded sanctuary, the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing has waited, recovering from the wounds of his last battle against Azeroth and biding his time until he can reforge the world in molten fire.

Some of the new features of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm include:

Two New Playable Races:
