Upper Deck Entertainment is providing a first look at the art from its new World of Warcraft Trading Card Game at BlizzCon, Blizzard Entertainment's inaugural celebration of its hugely popular (4.5 million paid subscribers) World of Warcraft MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game).  Artists Dave Dorman (Star Wars, King Kong) and Andrew Robinson (Dusty Star) will be at the Upper Deck booth at BlizzCon on October 28th and 29th creating original works for the Warcraft TCG.

 

Earlier this year Upper Deck announced that it was creating a World of Warcraft TCG (see 'Upper Deck Snags 'World of Warcraft' TCG'), for a spring 2006 launch.  The launch date has been moved back a couple of months to 'summer' 2006, when UDE will be able to coordinate both the consumer launch of the World of Warcraft TCG and a full slate of supporting Organized Play programs set up through participating retailers.
