In 2019, Blizzard introduced World of Warcraft Classic, allowing players to revisit past eras of the popular MMO. Now, on May 20th, Blizzard will be incorporating the Cataclysm expansion into WoW Classic. Originally launched in 2010, Cataclysm completely altered the landscape of Azeroth in the game, resulting in significant changes to gameplay. With this addition, Classic players will get to experience new zones, dungeons, and raids, breathing new life into the nostalgic game.
The release of Cataclysm in WoW Classic marks a significant shift in the game’s progression, moving away from the previous expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. As players dive into the pre-patch and later the full expansion, they will encounter revamped zones and content that reimagines the world of Azeroth. While some players may miss the older expansions like The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, the focus now is on embracing the changes that Cataclysm brings to the Classic experience. The rollout of future updates after Cataclysm adds to the anticipation of what’s to come in the world of WoW Classic.
