Blizzard fans rejoice in nostalgia! for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic release date has been announced. Northrend will be wartorn once again as Arthas’ madness will embark players once again on a quest for sending the Lich King into oblivion to save the world from impending freezing doom!
If you’re new to Wrath of the Lich King, it was originally launched back in 2008. It is the second expansion for World of Warcraft, following The Burning Crusade. The main plot revolves around Arthas Menethil, the crown prince of Lordaeron, who becomes the Lich King after his father’s death and subsequent resurrection as an undead. Arthas murders his father and Uther the Lightbringer and then purges Stratholme. He also arrives at Northrend, where he raises Ner’zhul as his new Lich King.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic: What’s It About?
Firstly, this expansion takes players to Northrend. If you’re like me and played that game back in 2008, you know what this is all about. For you new boys and girls out there, you’re about to have a lot of fun in this frozen piece of land. Now, for starters, Northrend is where the Lich King decided to set foot. For the WOTLK Classic, Blizzard will reprise all of its dungeons and raids: That means Culling of Stratholme, Azjol-Nerub, and Naxxramas in 40-player mode.
WOTLK Classic lets players create a level 55 Death Knight with a level 80 cap. Additionally, you can get a level 70 booster on any character. If you’re unfamiliar with the powerful Death Knight, it’s a melee class that uses magic to boost its attacks in three modes: Blood, Frost, and Unholy magic. The expansion also adds to the Inscription profession. This one allows players to create scrolls, off-hand tomes, and enchantments.

Wrath of the Lich King in WoW Lore
In the WoW Lore, Ner’zhul eventually betrays Arthas and attempts to summon many powerful demons to Azeroth through several portals. Arthas stops Ner’zhul and destroys the portals but is infected with the plague in the process. He then travels to Icecrown Glacier, where he finds Ner’zhul’s frozen body. Arthas merged with Ner’zhul, becoming the new Lich King.

What’s New in Wrath of The Lich King Classic?
Apart from the new profession stated above, the achievements system will be implemented in WoW classic. That gives players even more new rewards for what they accomplish in the game. Moreover, if you have an existing World of Warcraft subscription, you can play WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic at no extra cost. That means you can be reliving the nostalgia from those 2008 days when Death Knights were grossly overpowered. Those were the days!
Not everything is great, though. Blizzard knocked out the Dungeon Finder in patch 3.3.5, claiming some woke argumentation concerning social bonding. That means you will have to make some friends if you want to go on a dungeon or raid. Also, Arena Teams are removed to the detriment of Personal Arena Ratings. While personally, this is something I don’t favor. Let’s just wait and see how the community complains about the first measure of not having a dungeon finder. And wait until they patch that up so you won’t have to waste your time on Reddit socializing to raid Naxxramas.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic Release Date
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic doesn’t have a solid release date announced by Blizzard Activision yet. We expect the game to be launched sometime in 2022. And while we expect some changes to come along before the release of the next expansion of World of Warcraft —that’s Dragonflight. So, Blizzard Activision pretends to keep the players busy, either by appealing to some millennial nostalgia element or having the newer generations get familiar with WOTLK. With this information, we are wrapping this up here. Thanks for choosing Otakukart to stay informed regarding the latest developments in gaming and entertainment.
