Sure, Blizzard may have announced World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, but the bigger news is that they also announced World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic today! This makes a lot of sense since it seems as though World of Warcraft Classic is slowly following the old release schedule of the original game with content drops. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic came out back in May 2021.
The Lich King is coming to Classic later this year, and just like with Dragonflight, there is a beta opt-in for Wrath that you can sign up for if you're interested.
Today's reveal comes with a new cinematic trailer and a brief overview of the classic expansion for those who missed it the first time around. Seeing this trailer and the screenshots really takes me back. What an absolute blast this expansion was.
The Lich King, Arthas Menethil, sits in the ominous Icecrown Citadel scheming to claim the world as his own—a plan that threatens all life on Azeroth. Heroes of the Alliance and Horde must stand against the malevolent being who dares to declare himself the one true king of Azeroth...and seeks to scour all life from the world.
Later this year, you will again get to explore bone-chilling lands, storm Icecrown Citadel, and halt the Lich King’s baleful efforts. Only the most stalwart can challenge the Lich King and end his reign of terror in this rerelease of the 2008 expansion.
