World of Warcraft Classic, the nostalgia-tweaking old-school version of Blizzard’s long-running MMORPG, is set to move into the next era of history next month, with World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic now confirmed to be launching on 20th May.
“You’ve toppled the undead armies of the Lich King and ended Arthas’ reign,” Blizzard enthuses in its announcement post. “Now, Deathwing, The Worldbreaker, bursts from the heart of the Maelstrom, unleashing his rage. All will burn beneath the shadow of his wings.”
Cataclysm Classic, which arrives around a year and a half after the launch of Wrath of the Lich King Classic, will be preceded by a pre-launch patch on 30th April. This introduces a variety of system changes and additions – including the goblin and Wargen players races, as well as the likes of new race and class combinations, and the Archaeology progression – ahead of Catalcym’s substantially more seismic world changes in May.
