Blizzard Entertainment announced at Blizzcon 2023 that World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic is in development, despite many in the WoW community being against the expansion due to its rocky original release. Blizzard also gave us a relative release date for Cataclysm Classic, defining when to expect it to hit official servers.

When does World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic release?

WoW Cataclysm Classic is slated to release sometime in 2024. No exact release date was given, and based on the release dates for both The Burning Crusade Classic and The Wrath of the Lich King Classic, Cataclysm Classic could come out as a surprise anytime next year.

As with the previous expansions in WoW Classic, players can expect a similar experience to WoW Cataclysm's initial release, with additional changes set to alter some factors of gameplay.

  • An Improved Leveling Experience - Faster leveling for a smoother gameplay curve
  • A Dungeon Difficulty System - Better loot for harder dungeons, all customizable by the player.
  • Better Dungeon Group Finder - Easier to find groups and make player connections
  • A Streamlined Auction House - A clean-up of the system for better buying and trading
  • Account-Wide Progression - Mounts, Pets, and Transmogs

According to Blizzard, there exists the possibility of even new Raids for this Classic expansion, which would be a first for WoW Classic. What this all means for WoW Classic Hardcore is unknown for the time being.

WoW Classic Cataclysm will be featured for free alongside a normal World of Warcraft subscription, meaning any current players of WoW with an active sub can play once it releases.
