Blizzard Launches Hub for Soundtrack Downloads

Call it World of Tunecraft. Blizzard has partnered with Apple to create a new section on its website featuring digital downloads of the music from its biggest franchises. Individual tracks from World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo can be downloaded (from iTunes) for $.99 each or $9.99 for full game soundtracks.

Blizzard Music is now live, offering nine original game soundtracks, various compilations, like Taverns of Azeroth, and hundreds of individual songs.


Because the downloads come from iTunes, Blizzard music shoppers must have an iTunes account and software. Like other albums on iTunes, individual tracks sell for $.99 and there are significant savings when buying full albums. For example, the 17-track World of Warcraft: Cataclysm soundtrack sells for $9.99.
