Italian version of WoW coming soon

Blizzard continues with their localization efforts, this time bringing bringing WoW to Italy.

Sometime soon (later this year) WoW Italy will launch with a language pack for EU versions of the game, translated versions of the official WoW website and forums, and new Italian realms.

We noted this might be a possibility back in 2009 when some positions opened up with specific Italian language requirements. The full Blizzard announcement as follows:

Blizzard Entertainment
We have exciting news for our many Italian players: you will soon be able to play WoW in your native language!

Existing players will be able to download a free language pack to experience the game in Italian when it launches later this year.

Gamers in Europe will also be able to purchase fully localized versions of World of Warcraft (which now includes its first expansion, The Burning Crusade) and its three following expansions, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and the upcoming Mists of Pandaria.

The games will be available for purchase at retail and digitally through your Battle.net account.

Of course, the official World of Warcraft website and forums will be offered in Italian, and we'll also be opening up Italian realms!

Stay tuned for more information on a release date in the coming months.

Update: Is Blizzard prepping Polish and Italian versions of WoW?

Blizzard Europe recently updated their jobs site with a host of new positions which strongly suggest more EU expansion, this time in Italy and Poland. The last major EU release was a localised Russian version of the game which came out last year.

According to the site, Blizzard Europe is looking for Customer Support Representatives in Italian and Polish, along with Customer and Billing Support and Customer and Technical Support. Under their Web Team, they are looking to fill Web Editor positions in both languages, while under Community they are looking for Online Community Representatives. All these positions are based in either Paris, France or Cork, Ireland.

Update: We asked Blizzard about these positions and have been told simply: "no comment".
