When does WoW Classic WotLK release?

The return of Wrath of the Lich King is what’s next for World of Warcraft: Classic.

Known for its iconic poster boy, Arthas, this new cold-hearted expansion has Azeroth’s heroes return from their adventures over in the Outlands and venture into the frozen land of Northrend in order to stop the Lich King and his vast Scourge armies.

The new expansion will contain tons of new features such as the first new class, the Death Knight, new Raids, tons of new content, and more.

That begs the question: When does WoW Classic WotLK release?

What to expect from Wrath of the Lich King Classic

In WotLK Classic, players will be able to partake in numerous activities and features, reliving content that many hold to be the best moments of the franchise.

Here’s a rundown on what content to expect:

  • The Grim Frozen North – Heroes will begin their journey in one of two zones in Northrend—Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord—and adventure through some of the most epic vistas and beloved storylines in all of Warcraft before breaching the seat of the Lich King’s power in Icecrown.
  • The Rise of Death Knights – Available to both factions and starting at level 55, Death Knights—World of Warcraft’s first hero class—harness the powers of darkness to help combat the evil that threatens Azeroth. While Death Knights are limited to one per server and require a level 55 character on that server to create, in Wrath Classic, we will be bypassing that requirement for a player’s first Death Knight.
  • New Profession—Inscription – This new profession allows players to scribe mystical glyphs that modify the properties of spells and abilities (cooldowns, damage, etc.), and craft powerful trinkets and off-hand items.
  • Achievements Unlocked – Achievements are coming to WoW Classic, giving players new rewards for their exploits and accomplishments.
  • Dungeons & Raids – Relive seminal 5-player dungeons like Azjol-Nerub and the Culling of Stratholme, and lay siege to Naxxramas as a 25- or 10-player raid—an update of its original iteration as a 40-player raid in pre-expansion World of Warcraft.
