I've been playing in the beta and I don't see it being ready by November. There are whole zones that are incomplete, professions that have yet to be activated for testing, tons of graphical glitches and broken class functions (hunters for example). If Blizzard holds true to their "not releasing until it's really ready" policy, then December is possible. Before that? Highly unlikely.
And I really don't see it releasing right before Thanksgiving. Few game companies want to tie up their dev teams at that time and Blizzard has never been one that did.
Rumor: Cataclysm Pushed Back to December
Numerous dates for the Cataclysm launch are circulating the Internet. When do you think it will be released?
Alright, let me start off by saying that this news post is going to be filled with nothing but rumors. Over the weekend, Amazon posted that the release date for Cataclysm is Nov. 23. The page was quickly updated to remove the date. Now Boubouille over at MMO-Champion is saying he received an "update" that the expansion has been pushed back to early December (either Dec. 7 or Dec. 14) from his earlier prediction of Nov. 2.
Just to remind you, those dates are rumors and nothing more. So now it's time to ask you a question, ZAM readers. When do you think Cataclysm will launch? November? December? Will we see it this year? BlizzCon is less than a month away, so we should get some concrete details from Blizzard soon enough.
