'World of Warcraft Classic' Season of Discovery Begins Later This Month, Content Details - Screens

Rich in legend and filled with adventure, the World of Warcraft awaits! For the first time, players experience the lands of Azeroth from a new, in-depth perspective. As heroes, they explore familiar battlefields, discover new lands and take on epic quests and challenges.

In World of Warcraft, players assume the roles of legendary heroes and interact with thousands of other players online as they explore and adventure across a vast world.

Whether journeying together or questing on their own, players will engage in heroic battles, develop friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.

The game features customizable character classes with thousands of weapons, spells and abilities. With an innovative, easy-to-use interface, an action-packed combat system, and thousands of quests that build an immersive storyline, "World of Warcraft" offers a MMORPG experience that will appeal to both veteran and casual players alike.

WoW Classic is Blizzard Entertainment’s authentic recreation of the original Azeroth before its seven game-changing expansions. The game invites players to return to an era of wonder and danger as they experience adventures previously lost to time, reconnecting with old allies and forging new friendships along the way.


Azeroth has long been a world of possibility, filled with dangerous enemies, lands to explore, and denizens to aid. World of Warcraft Classic invites players to return to Azeroth once again and begin a new journey...with a twist. In Season of Discovery, which was just announced at BlizzCon and goes live on November 30, players will start a fresh adventure where exploration and experimentation will be key to unlocking new abilities and playstyles for their characters.

Season of Discovery, accessible on the Classic Era realms, will come loaded with new features and unique rulesets that include:

  • RUNES: Throughout the world, players will need to discover special runes that will provide access to new abilities, some that have never been available to classes in WoW Classic.
  • RUNE-ENGRAVING: Players will be able to apply a limited number of runes via rune-engraving, which also allows players to swap out abilities when not in combat to encourage experimentation.
  • Incremental Level Cap Increases: Season of Discovery will start with a cap of level 25 and will be increased over time to offer a more progressive endgame experience at each level band.
  • Classic Dungeons Reimagined: Each phase’s level cap will provide new content for players to experience, starting with the level 25 Blackfathom Deeps 10-man raid: formerly a level-up 5-player dungeon, it has been reworked with redesigned boss encounters to offer exciting challenges that will put players’ builds to the test.
  • World PvP Events: In addition to new raids, each level band’s cap zone will host some world PvP events for players to test their new abilities against others. The level 25 PvP zone to start will be in Ashenvale.
