Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase.com will continue their existing cooperation on Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft in mainland China. The new license will continue for an additional three years following the expiration of the current license agreement. The extended license agreement further reinforces the existing partnership between Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase and lays the groundwork to bring Mists of Pandaria, the upcoming fourth expansion to World of Warcraft, to mainland China.

The companies have been working together to bring World of Warcraft to Chinese gamers since 2009.
