Blizzard confirms release date for WoW Classic: Burning Crusade

Matthew Wilson May 7, 2021 Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming

Two days ago, Blizzard accidentally leaked a June 1st launch date for WoW Classic: Burning Crusade. At the time, we didn't know if this was the final release date or a placeholder, but that changes today, with Blizzard officially confirming the launch. 

The Burning Crusade is coming to World of Warcraft Classic on the 1st of June, raising the Classic level cap to 70 and adding in blood elves and draenei as playable races.

Blizzard will be rolling out a pre-expansion patch on the 18th of May, which will have players choose whether to continue their journey on to the new expansion, or transfer to a new server to keep playing WoW Vanilla.

Blizzard has also revealed unlock times for The Burning Crusade on WoW Classic. The expansion goes live at 10PM BST on the 1st of June.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
