Anyone aching for some grim and frostbitten adventures will be happy to hear that World of WarCraft‘s most popular expansion is coming back.
On Monday, Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic will launch globally on Sept. 26, 2022, at 3:00 P.M. PDT // 6:00 P.M. EDT // 10:00 P.M. GMT. The update will be available for all Burning Crusade Classic realms at that time.
Some significant features that made Wrath of the Lich King a hit among fans include the Inscription profession and Death Knight classes. Then there are exciting lands like the frozen tundras of Northrend to explore, which contains 13 dungeons, and thrilling raids like Naxxramas and Culling of Stratholme.

Current World of Warcraft subscribers can enjoy the optional “Joyous Journeys” buff that increases experience gain by 50 percent from now until Wrath of the Lich King Classic’s release. That should make the leveling process slightly easier for fresh would-be adventurers. Or, you know, folks who are returning to Blizzard’s seminal MMORPG for the first time in more than a decade.
“The epic moments in Wrath of the Lich King Classic feature vast icy environments, unique dungeons and raids, and a gripping conclusion to the story of Prince Arthas,” Holly Longdale, World of Warcraft executive producer, said in a press release. “All of this and more made it a favorite of many of our players and us at Blizzard as well. We’re looking forward to providing an authentic experience for returning veterans and an awesome adventure for newcomers exploring Azeroth for the first time.”
This update is coming before World of Warcraft‘s latest expansion, Dragonflight, which will release sometime in 2022.
