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!
Interestingly, the Dungeon Finder added in the 3.3.5 patch will not be available in the expansion—Blizzard said the Classic community indicated that "that the importance of social bonds is a big part of what makes Classic their game of choice"—while Arena Teams will be removed in favor of Personal Arena Ratings.
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.
