Are you ready to face the might of the Scourge? Developer Blizzard Entertainment has revealed when heroes of the mighty Horde and the noble Alliance can start the onslaught against the minions of the fallen prince Arthas Menethil. Mark your calendars and pack your warmest gear: Wrath of the Lich King Classic pre-patch hits on August 30!
Once the pre-patch hits, WotLK Classic systems will go live. That includes character reworks and balancing, achievement system, new Inscription profession, updates to Orgrimmar and Stormwind and more.
Players will also have access to the first WoW Hero Class – Death Knights. Players will be able to create and level up their first Death Knight free from restrictions during pre-patch. According to Blizzard, additional Death Knights created beyond the first will follow the normal restrictions allowing for one per realm and requiring at least one level 55 character on the realm.
- September 6-13: Zombie Plague Event – A mysterious affliction will be making its way through the capital cities and players will need to be alert to avoid falling victim to its deadly effects
- September 13-launch: Scourge Invasion Events – In various locations throughout Azeroth, players will garner powerful rewards by coordinating a defensive stand against an attacking Necropolis and defeating Scourge forces on the ground level where crystals appear.
Following the fight against the Scourge minions on the territories of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, it is time to take the fight to Northrend. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic launches on September 26.
