Blizzard this week revealed plans to continue its World of Warcraft Classic era content, into Wrath of the Lich King once the Burning Crusade Classic is over.

While there's still another entire layer of content for TBC Classic yet to be released, the developers think now is the perfect time to confirm plans for a trip to Northrend. The announcement coincides with Blizzard's announcement of details on Dragonflight, the latest retail World of Warcraft expansion.

Blizzard didn't announce an exact release date for Wrath of the Lich King Classic, but the developer's trailer for the legacy content expansion suggests it's coming sometime this year.

TBC was originally launched in January 2007, and WotLK in November 2008, almost two years later. By contrast, the TBC Classic was released in June 2021. This means that no matter when WotLK Classic is released this year, it will be faster than when it was originally released.

The brief timeline of content from this classic era isn't particularly surprising, though. As Blizzard has realized since it started working on its legacy servers, modern players are browsing game content at a much faster rate than at launch, thanks to the wide range of information available to players today.

Blizzard has yet to release information on the WotLK Classic beta test date. But players can opt-in to the beta by visiting the game's website and logging into their Battle.net account.
