The day has come to set off to the icy plains of Northrend again. With the pre-patch events concluded, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic is now live. Are you prepared to face off against Arthas Menethil, the fallen prince of Lordaeron?
What is it that players can look forward to? WotLK Classic means a new level cap, the continent of Northrend, Death Knights hero class (available since pre-patch), Inscription profession, Achievements and much more.
Community is at the heart of Classic, and there is plenty of group content for players to explore with friends: 12 dungeons are available as part of the player leveling and maximum-level experience, with 16 total to become available across the expansion.
On October 6, those seeking even more formidable thrills can take on the first three of the seven raids—Eye of Eternity, Obsidian Sanctum, and Naxxramas—before continuing their adventures in Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel, and Ruby Sanctum in future updates.
“Wrath of the Lich King Classic contains an iconic adventure from a momentous time in the history of Azeroth—we love this expansion, and we’ve carefully balanced both the nostalgia for veteran players and the modernization needed for players discovering it for the first time,” said World of Warcraft vice president and executive producer Holly Longdale. “By giving extra care to the way players group for raids, as well as their end-game journeys, we’ve worked hard to ensure all players can experience everything that the massive continent of Northrend has to offer.”
To celebrate the release of the Wrath of the Lich King Classic, developer Blizzard Entertainment also remastered one of the most iconic WoW cinematic trailers in 4K resolution. Check out the official site to learn more.
