Wrath of the Lich King Classic’s Pre-Patch Coming Soon!

By xsisted78 | August 18, 2022

Blizzard has announced that the Wrath of the Lich King Classic pre-patch will go live on August 30. The 50% XP buff will stay for the duration of the pre-patch and will also apply to Death Knights.

You won’t need a level 55 characters to play a Death Knight either, as this restriction will be removed for the first one you create unless you start on one of the new “fresh start” servers. If you’re after an army of Death Knights though, you’re out of luck as you can only have one per realm and original rules will apply to any others you make.

Along with the “new” Death Knight class, character balancing and other systems will come with the pre-patch. These come with the inscription profession, achievements, and updates to both Stormwind City and Orgrimmar. Blizzard has also released a mini-roadmap for the update—the Zombie Plague event will hit major cities on September 6 and the Scourge Invasion start assaulting various locations on September 13.
