About World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game released on November 23, 2004, for PC and Mac. Set in the Warcraft universe, it is a third-person game where players take on the roles of Warcraft heroes and explore a large open world through questing, adventure, and combat. Its fantasy setting and warfare themes place it among the core entries of the Warcraft franchise, which Blizzard Entertainment both developed and published.

The game is built for multiplayer play, with thousands of people able to share the same world at once. Players can team up to tackle quests and adventures together, or face one another in large-scale battles. Those interactions can lead to friendships, alliances, and rivalries as players compete for power and standing.

The game carries an ESRB T (Teen) rating and a PEGI 12 rating. It is listed under the role-playing and adventure genres and combines action elements with its persistent online world. The title remains part of the Warcraft series and is a long-running entry in Blizzard's catalog.
