Blizzard is upping the ante in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore by adding a "Self Found" mode that will now live on Hardcore realms! During BlizzCon 2023, Blizzard hinted the new game mode would arrive in early 2024 and then narrowed the release date down to February 2024 in the WoW Classic 2024 roadmap — but now we finally have a hard launch date.

Last week, World of Warcraft Classic brought a new challenge to players with the launch of official Hardcore realms.

The rules of engagement for World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore realms, which are now live, have some new, unique features compared to the dungeons we're used to.

When Blizzard first announced the development of a Hardcore realm for World of Warcraft Classic, they teased two hallmark features that would be included in their Hardcore mode: permanent character death and the Duels to the Death system.

We've covered the significant changes made to Classic Hardcore including the permadeath, dungeons, the new Duel to the Death system, and the other various things you need to know about Hardcore realms before jumping in this Thursday, August 24 at 3 p.m.
