World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion coming?

We know this is speculation, but we\'d bet our endgame l00t on this rumor.

UPDATE: The game was confirmed at Blizzcon. Details and screenshots here.

If you’ve been wondering what the next World of Warcraft expansion might be, you might want to ask the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK).

That is, USK, the online database of German software ratings board that recently listed a game of interest, one World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King "GC-demo."

The listing was interestingly removed after press and media began speculating on the meaning of the title and what the expansion would bring.

The listing has since resurfaced though, this time filed under the word mark "Wrath of the Lich King," with the online database of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, who apparently issued a trademark for the name to Blizzard on July 28.

Hmmm.

Our bet is Blizzard will unveil the new expansion this week at this years Blizzcon similar to the way the Blizzheads debuted The Burning Crusade at Blizzcon 2005.

BlizzCon 2007 kicks off tomorrow at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Check back here for news and what will prolly be a big reveal for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
