AnniversaryHardcoreEraProgressionSeason of Discovery

Maybe this time you’ll be prepared

Tread once again through the Dark Portal and into the fel-scarred realm of Outland with WoW: Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition. Return to the first expansion and rally with the fellow heroes of Azeroth to face the might of the Burning Legion across the shattered skies and torn lands of an exiled world. Adventure as one of the new playable races– Blood Elves for the Horde or Draenei for the Alliance– and take to the skies as you explore the most dangerous corners of the Outland.

Additional Playable Races

Each faction expands its ranks with the addition of the wrathful Blood Elves for the Horde and the stalwart Draenei for the Alliance.

Flying Mounts

The skies are yours to take as a plethora of winged mounts wait as rewards throughout your journey.

New Raids

Gather your allies and take on the newly unlocked Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, and Magtheridon raids.

Player vs. Player

Honor awaits those that are willing to take it with the introduction of Arena across multiple seasons.

You Only Live Once

Brave the threats of Classic Azeroth with only one rule: Survive. Prepare diligently and leave no scratch unmended as you face down the quests, dungeons, and raids of World of Warcraft with the lives of you and your allies on the line. Will you survive?

Permadeath

Whether it’s at the hands of a raid boss, a murloc or that sheer cliff you swore had one more step, dead means dead.

Group Content

Coordination is key in Dungeons and Raids as the slightest misstep carries the highest price.

Gear Wisely

When every point of health is at a premium, upgrades can mean one more level or a rude return to character creation.

The Ultimate Climb

With perils littered across countless hours of playtime, can you achieve what many have failed to do and reach level 60?

The Original WoW Experience

Adventure into a recreation of Azeroth as it first premiered over two decades ago. Rediscover what it meant to start at level one and face down the threats of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms with welcome improvements to graphics and social systems. Play as one of the original races and classes in a time before the opening of the Dark Portal when the largest existential threat was the enemy threatening you or your party member at that moment.

Pandaria Calls

This ancient realm invites you to lose yourself in its lush forests, cloud-ringed mountains and timeless secrets. Start your adventure as a Pandaren and join the ranks of either the Horde or the Alliance to defend your home. Fight off foes with the Monk Class, explore ancient kingdoms hidden, and rise to defend the shadow of a long buried evil– before it's too late.

Pandaren

Set out as the new playable race and join the Alliance or the Horde to defend your home.

Monk Class

Master the mystic arts of the Monk where you can unleash lethal blows, mend your allies with spiritual energies, or harness power to shrug off enormous damage.

Challenge Mode Dungeons

Gather your most trusted party members and test your mettle in time trail dungeon modes packed with tempting rewards.

New Dungeons, Raids and scenarios

The brave can battle through six new dungeons in Pandaria, four revamped Heroic dungeons, three raids, and more.

Classic with a Twist

World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery breaks class conventions with the introduction of runes that augment player characters by providing abilities not available in WoW Classic. Keep a vigilant eye as you search for these strange and powerful runes; some will be in plain sight and others will require the aid to uncover. Whether your dream is to tank as a Rogue, Heal as a mage or make something entirely new, World of Warcraft Season of Discovery offers you the opportunity to put your creativity at the forefront.

New Class Specializations

Learn what it means to be a Warlock tank or break your favorite high damage spec with the power of runes.

More to Explore

With changes spanning across both continents of Azeroth, you never know what corner of the map has secrets yet undiscovered.

Reimagined Raids & Dungeons
