Cataclysm Classic is coming out soon, and below you\u2019ll find the countdown showing when the expansion starts. Cataclysm Classic is the second release of this expansion, and it will undergo a couple of changes. On top of regular Heroic dungeons, you\u2019ll have access to Titan Rune dungeons, account-wide transmogs, and a ton of guild perks available from the start. This expansion will feel the same but different from the original release. Here\u2019s the exact start time and date of Cataclysm Classic.\u00a0 WoW Cataclysm Classic release date and time WoW Classic Cataclysm releases on May 20 at 5 pm CT \/ 6 pm ET \/ 3 pm PT on May 21 at 12 am CEST. As usual, this expansion has a worldwide release and all players will be able to access it at the same time. Below, you\u2019ll find the countdown showing how many days, hours, and minutes you have to wait until Cataclysm Classic's release: Once it\u2019s live, there\u2019s a high chance the servers will be buggy or even offline. So, keep your eyes peeled on the official WoW X (formerly Twitter) page.\u00a0 What to expect from WoW Cataclysm Classic Cataclysm Classic is taking over Wrath of the Lich King\u2019s spot, and that means the previous expansion will become unavailable. The level cap is increasing from 80 to 85, the old zones will assume a new form, and all the new content, like dungeons, will be added. For those familiar with the expansion, it'll be a another wave of nostalgia. However, if you're like me and never played the early expansions in WoW, it's the perfect time to experience the game's glory days. But that\u2019s not all. Blizzard Entertainment has three more big patches planned for this expansion\u2014Rise of the Zandalari, Rage of the Firelands, and Hour of Twilight. Each new patch will introduce more fresh features as well as one more raid. Unlike the original Cataclysm, the patch cadence will be faster, allowing players to burn through content and before turning to other WoW game modes, like MoP Remix.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/WoW-Catalysm-Classic.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220302"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1220302"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1235017,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220302\/revisions\/1235017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1220307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1220302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1220302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Cataclysm Classic is coming out soon, and below you\u2019ll find the countdown showing when the expansion starts. Cataclysm Classic is the second release of this expansion, and it will undergo a couple of changes. On top of regular Heroic dungeons, you\u2019ll have access to Titan Rune dungeons, account-wide transmogs, and a ton of guild perks available from the start. This expansion will feel the same but different from the original release. Here\u2019s the exact start time and date of Cataclysm Classic.\u00a0 WoW Cataclysm Classic release date and time WoW Classic Cataclysm releases on May 20 at 5 pm CT \/ 6 pm ET \/ 3 pm PT on May 21 at 12 am CEST. As usual, this expansion has a worldwide release and all players will be able to access it at the same time. Below, you\u2019ll find the countdown showing how many days, hours, and minutes you have to wait until Cataclysm Classic's release: Once it\u2019s live, there\u2019s a high chance the servers will be buggy or even offline. So, keep your eyes peeled on the official WoW X (formerly Twitter) page.\u00a0 What to expect from WoW Cataclysm Classic Cataclysm Classic is taking over Wrath of the Lich King\u2019s spot, and that means the previous expansion will become unavailable. The level cap is increasing from 80 to 85, the old zones will assume a new form, and all the new content, like dungeons, will be added. For those familiar with the expansion, it'll be a another wave of nostalgia. However, if you're like me and never played the early expansions in WoW, it's the perfect time to experience the game's glory days. But that\u2019s not all. Blizzard Entertainment has three more big patches planned for this expansion\u2014Rise of the Zandalari, Rage of the Firelands, and Hour of Twilight. Each new patch will introduce more fresh features as well as one more raid. Unlike the original Cataclysm, the patch cadence will be faster, allowing players to burn through content and before turning to other WoW game modes, like MoP Remix.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/WoW-Catalysm-Classic.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220302"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1220302"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1235017,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220302\/revisions\/1235017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1220307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1220302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1220302"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1220302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
