Last week, an update to the World of Warcraft website mistakenly revealed an ad with the release date for Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Usually when a leak like this happens, an official announcement is imminent and that was exactly the case here. Today, Blizzard confirmed Wrath of the Lich King Classic for September. 

World of Warcraft Classic players will be able to revisit the Wrath of the Lich King expansion starting on the 26th of September. The expansion will have a global launch, so here in the UK, you can start logging in at 11PM BST. The expansion will also be free to anyone that has an active WoW subscription.

The image was later removed from the website due to the fact that it was not supposed to be public yet. Given the leak, we can expect an official announcement from Blizzard very soon to confirm the release date.

When looking back at the ‘golden age' of WoW, many fans rate the base game and expansions differently. Some prefer the vanilla experience, others made their memories during The Burning Crusade and for another good chunk of players, Wrath of the Lich King was the best expansion. With WoW Classic now covering all three of those time periods, we might see Blizzard take a break from Classic expansions for the foreseeable future.

KitGuru Says: Wrath of the Lich King Classic is on the way and just a few months later, the next major WoW expansion, Dragonflight, should also be available, making this a pretty big year for World of Warcraft fans.

Back when The Burning Crusade was coming to WoW Classic, an early web advertisement leaked the release date. A similar situation has now taken place with Wrath of the Lich King, which appears set for a September launch. 

The World of Warcraft teams are very busy this year. Not only are we getting the next major WoW expansion, Dragonflight, over the holiday season, but WoW Classic fans are also getting the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. As reported by WoWHead, an image uploaded to the WoW Classic website yesterday showed the words “the Lich King returns September 26 2022”.

The image was later removed from the website due to the fact that it was not supposed to be public yet. Given the leak, we can expect an official announcement from Blizzard very soon to confirm the release date.

When looking back at the ‘golden age' of WoW, many fans have different answers. Some prefer the base, vanilla game, others made their memories during The Burning Crusade and for another good chunk of players, Wrath of the Lich King was the best expansion. With WoW Classic now covering all three of those time periods, we might see Blizzard take a break from Classic expansions for quite some time.

KitGuru Says: After Wrath of the Lich King, do you think we'll see anymore ‘classic' expansions for WoW? Do you think Blizzard should have gone down the road of re-releasing expansions in the first place?

Just as promised, last night Blizzard officially announced the next World of Warcraft expansion, Dragonflight, complete with a new playable race and class. Alongside the new expansion, World of Warcraft Classic will also be getting the Wrath of the Lich King expansion later this year. 

It turns out the leaks from earlier this week were accurate. Dragonflight will introduce a new playable race and class – Dracthyr Evokers. The new expansion will send players on a new adventure to the dragon homeland and offer a return to World of Warcraft's high fantasy roots. According to Blizzard president, Mike Ybarra, the expansion will also bring overhauls to “many of the game's underlying systems”.

In Dragonflight, the level cap will increase to 70 and players will be able to learn a new skill, Dragonriding, which will involve skill-based aerial movement. The game's talent system has also been revamped, professions have been improved and the game's UI has been updated.

Unfortunately, while previous leaks claimed Dragonflight would launch in November, Blizzard did not announce a release date for the expansion. Instead, Wrath of the Lich King for World of Warcraft Classic will be releasing later this year.

With Wrath of the Lich King Classic, players will return to Northrend to reexperience some of the best storylines WoW has to offer. As you would expect, the expansion includes the Death Knights class, the Inscription profession, new achievements and the original dungeons and raid.

KitGuru Says: What did you all think of the Dragonflight reveal? Will this expansion get you to renew your subscription, or will you be skipping this one at launch?

We're a few hours away from Blizzard's stream announcing the next World of Warcraft expansion, but a number of details appear to have already leaked. According to a familiar sources responsible for leaking the Legion expansion several years ago, new gameplay and release date details have been revealed. 

The news comes from “Scaleface”, a reputable user on MMO-Champion who previously leaked details on the Legion expansion (via Reddit). All of this is backed up with evidence, including screenshots and other files.

Above you will find the logo for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, the new expansion for the game. The expansion will apparently include a new draconic race called the “Dracthyr”, a neutral race. There will also be a new class called “Evoker”, and a new talent tree system, which is closer to the classic talent tree system, but with two columns instead of three. Screenshots of this talent tree system were briefly online but have since been deleted.

According to the source, Dragonflight will indeed be releasing in 2022, with Blizzard reportedly targeting a November release date. WoW Classic fans may get some new content a little earlier, as it is also claimed that Wrath of the Lich King Classic will be coming in September 2022.

KitGuru Says: I am not entirely sold on these release date predictions, but we'll see how things go. Much of the gameplay-related portion of the leak seems credible and we are just a few hours away from getting confirmation.

Blizzard has been supporting WoW Classic for a few years now, offering players a way to go back and experience the game as it was many years ago. Last year, The Burning Crusade expansion came to WoW Classic, opening up the possibility that we'll see other expansions too in the future. Now, it appears that Blizzard is indeed working on bringing back Wrath of the Lich King. 

A new survey has been sent out to a number of World of Warcraft subscribers, directly asking for opinions on “Wrath of the Lich King Classic” and its potential pricing tiers. It seems Blizzard is planning a base version of the expansion with a level boost, pet, 1-month sub time, a mount and a character transfer.

The more expensive bundle would feature additional boosts and a collectible toy for the physical version. Blizzard has not yet announced Wrath of the Lich King Classic, but given that The Burning Crusade arrived last year, we should expect new WoW Classic content in the years ahead.

While we may not see an official WoW Classic announcement in the immediate future, Blizzard is gearing up to reveal the next major WoW expansion. Leaks point to WoW: Dragonflight being revealed late next week.

KitGuru Says: WoW Classic started off as a simple offering, delivering vanilla WoW to those that really wanted to revisit the glory days. Now that we're moving on to expansions, it is getting somewhat complicated.
