Blizzard Entertainment has announced that World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic will officially be released on June 1, 2021.
As detailed by Blizzard, Burning Crusade Classic will launch in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand on June 1 at 3pm ET/6pm PT/11pm BST and on June 2 at 7am CST/8am KST/10am AEDT.
Appearing on Reddit and spotted by Wowhead, a number of players have reportedly been served notices announcing The Burning Crusade's launch date this summer. That tracks with existing news that the expansion would arrive this year, following a currently-ongoing beta.
Burning Crusade Classic, which launches June 1, aims to be a little less faithful by design; Blizzard is actively tinkering with the experience. It’s a new approach that’s aptly called “some changes,” and it should make Burning Crusade more viable to play longterm.
Those changes include better matchmaking for the new Arena mode, which has 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 competitive matches. The raids, like Tempest Keep and Sunwell Plateau, are also going to be a little tougher. Bosses will be at their pre-nerf difficulty, and it remains to be seen whether players will burn through these challenges in minutes.
Also starting May 18, players on Burning Crusade Classic realms will be able to create blood elf and draenei characters and experience the two races’ new starting zones in the Azuremyst Isles and Eversong Woods, preparing their new heroes for the opening of the Dark Portal on June 1. From the day of the patch through launch, players will also be able to participate in a limited-time in-game event as demonic agents from beyond the Dark Portal pour into the Blasted Lands and assault key locations across Azeroth.
On May 18, players with a World of Warcraft Classic character will be able to choose whether to progress to Burning Crusade Classic, keep their accounts in the original Classic era, or partake in both (which will cost a $35 character cloning fee). Players will also be able to make Draenei and Blood Elves to start the process of leveling to 60 and being ready to enter Outland. The Dark Portal itself, along with all of the Outland content, opens on June 1.
As with World of Warcraft: Classic, content from the original games like the opening of the Black Temple, Zul-Aman, and the Sunwell will be added in phases over time.
Ahead of the Dark Portal opening, thousands of WoW Classic players are restarting the levelling climb from scratch on a low-population realm—partly to help new players jump aboard ahead of TBC, but also as an attempt to reboot a game that's become plagued by botters and an inflated economy.
