Blizzard Confirms Wrath Of The Lich King And Death Knight’s Release Date

As we predicted, World of Warcraft Classic servers.

“From atop the frozen throne of Icecrown Citadel, the Lich King Arthas Menethil—once a fierce paladin prince consumed and corrupted by a misguided zeal to save his people at any cost—marshals his undead army into war against the inhabitants of Azeroth.”

The Death Knight will become available to play sometime before the expansion itself hits the live servers. Alongside the Death Knight’s release, players will also enjoy 50% experience gains from the Joyous Journey buff that will be available right until the expansion’s release. This should help newly-created characters reach level 70 faster, ready to take on the challenges of the new zone and raids.

“To confront the Lich King, players will embark on a treacherous journey through the wintry forests and snowy peaks of the continent of Northrend, the single largest land mass Blizzard ever added to the game with an expansion (until the release of World of Warcraft®: Dragonflight),” wrote Blizzard in the official press release. “There they’ll experience some of the most breathtaking vistas and beloved storylines in all of Warcraft® as they make hard-fought progress in their effort to breach Icecrown and defeat one of the direst threats Azeroth has ever known.”

The announcement also comes with a brand new trailer which you’ll find embedded right down below.
