WoW’s best expansion ever is finally going Classic.
It is official: Blizzard finally confirmed during today’s World of Warcraft: Dragonflight reveal that the great Wrath of the Lich King expansion is coming to World of Warcraft Classic.
«His evil is legend. His power and malice unparalleled. Lord of the undead Scourge, wielder of the cursed runeblade Frostmourne, and nemesis of the living, the Lich King will stop at nothing until all life on Azeroth is extinguished. Relive the legend and end his reign.»
The Wrath of the Lich King expansion adds the new Death Knight class, which can be created with no prerequisites and started at level 55. The level cap has been increased to 80 for the expansion, and a level 70 boost will be available for anyone who wants to jump straight into Lich King without playing the Burning Crusade Classic expansion first.
Here’s Blizzard’s quick lowdown on what Classic fans can look forward to:
Death Knights!
A release date hasn’t been set but Wrath of the Lich King Classic will be out later this year, and yes, there will be a pre-release beta: You can opt into that now, and find out more about the expansion, at wowclassic.blizzard.com.
