Wrath Of The Lich King Is Coming To World Of Warcraft Classic

Blizzard announced that it will add the Wrath of the Lich King expansion this year to World of Warcraft Classic, in keeping with its annual release schedule. Easily one of the most revered expansions for Warcraft, Wrath will send players to the land of Northrend where Arthas Menethil, the titular Lich King, and his ever-growing undead scourge threaten the existence of all of Azeroth. 

One of the most significant inclusions to WoW with Wrath was allowing players to roll a character as the game’s first new Hero Class, the Death Knight. Classic will get Death Knights during the pre-patch of the expansion. As always, any race is able to become one of these undead powerhouses. They’ll be available for both factions, and new Death Knights will start out boosted to level 55.

Dungeon Finder, which allows players to team up with a group of random adventurers to take on 5-player dungeons, is considered contrary to World of Warcraft Classic’s ethos and will remain unavailable in the game. 

Other features coming with Wrath of the Lich King include the Inscription crafting profession and a barbershop that will have more options than were available with the original iteration that debuted in this expansion the first time around. Also, using the barbershop won’t require a real-money transaction like it did initially, which is another break from reliving these expansions as they were at the time, but a welcome quality of life change nonetheless.

Wrath of the Lich King is coming to WoW® Classic in 2019, but we only know a vague 2022 date. As soon as we have more information, we will relay it.

Blizzard announced that Wrath will be returning and also revealed Dragonflight’s newest expansion. It brings Azeroth’s heroes closer to the much-anticipated Dragon Isles. Dragonflight, which includes a new race, class, new zones and UI reworks as well as a revamp of talent systems, can be read here.
