World of Warcraft : The Burning Crusade, the first game expansion for World of Warcraft has been delayed, according to gaming news website, ActionTrip.

According to their "reliable" source, the release of Burning Crusade has been pushed from late 2006 to January 2007. They say that the postponement is certain for Europe and that they can only guess that the same will happen to the U.S. version.

Blizzard announced the first details of the expansion on the first day of BlizzCon 2005, and by the looks of it, Burning Crusade will have many new features like 2 new races and 15 new enemies.

The new playable races include Blood Elves and Draenei. Blood Elves are remnants of the High Elves race, the only one who survived the Undead Scourge attacks on QuelThalas. At first, they plan to remain loyal to the Alliance and to Grand Marshal Garithos, but realize, further in the game, that their presence is no longer wanted in the Alliance. The other playable race, Draenei, has a common lineage with the Eredar race, but while the Eredar were twisted by shadow magic, the Draenei have chosen the path of the Light.

The new enemies present in the Burning Crusade expansion will include: Eredar, Forest Trolls, Gronn, Naaru, Warp Stalkers, Spore Bats, Fungal Giants, Rock Players, Fel Orcs and more.
