Cataclysm Classic

World of Warcraft's next Classic expansion will be Cataclysm Classic, launching on May 20, 2024.

In the last two weeks, World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery just launched its third phase and Wrath Classic received the first of two Cataclysm Classic pre-patch events but these two releases are the calm before the storm, so to speak.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic has brought back the simultaneously occurring world events Operation Gnomeregan and Zalazane's Fall, both of which are now live!

Cataclysm Classic is arriving at the start of Summer and the 2024 Classic roadmap clearly indicates there will be a closed beta beforehand.

The closed beta for Cataclysm Classic has started, with much of the initial testing focusing on the updated old world zones so far.

We're gearing up for the release of Cataclysm Classic this year, and the first step is the beta test which is now live, with invites going out to the first round of testers.

Cataclysm Classic gives WoW Classic players the chance to explore an expanded Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor and to defeat Deathwing, acquiring new equipment along the way — and you’ll want new enchants to go with them.

The World of Warcraft team shared a 2024 content roadmap that covered everything happening in WoW in the upcoming year.

World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic was announced at BlizzCon 2023, paving the way for the next cycle of World of Warcraft Classic content scheduled for the first half of 2024.
