World of Warcraft Inches Back to China's Desktops
China’s pasty-faced warriors and wizards may soon be headed back to their indoor lairs.
Chinese Internet company Netease received approval Tuesday from the Ministry of Culture to offer the World of Warcraft online role-playing game, according to portal Techweb. The government agency’s Web site showed the game had passed its content examination.
World of Warcraft will still need an approval from another regulator, the General Administration of Press and Publication, or GAPP, before it can be relaunched. Analysts said that it’s very likely the game will be relaunched in late August or early September.
