Selama ashal’anore!
This moment has been a long time coming for Destructoid readers.
For years we’ve mused onour favorite expansions and moments inWorld of Warcrafthistory. WhileWrath of the Lich Kingtook the top spot as the most-favored expansion,Burning Crusadewas right on its heels in second place: and my personal favorite era to boot.
Even just a few months agowe discussed and voted on where we’d like to seeWorld of Warcraft Classicgo next. To Outland it is!
Today at BlizzCon 2021, Blizzard has announced thatBurning Crusadewill indeed be incorporated into the mix of “Classic.” It was kind of inevitable, given thatClassichit its end point, but we didn’t really know when Blizzard would decide to reveal all that. This week, it seems! Or more accurately, a few months ago when BlizzConwould have happenedin person in Anaheim, California.
Since this is a lot to parse, here’s all the full info from Blizzard below. In short, content will “roll out in phases,” and “players can decide whether to advance each of their characters to the new era” or “continue playing the originalClassiccontent on new “Classic Era” servers.
Burning Crusade, likeClassic, will be included in your subscription. It’s allegedly out in 2021.
