World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King Classic is almost finished, with only phase five, Ruby Sanctum, left to be released. However, Blizzard has dropped a major hint about what’s next for the Classic version of the game. The official Blizzard store now features a new Deathwing T-shirt, suggesting that Cataclysm Classic may be on the horizon.
Deathwing, the main antagonist in the Cataclysm expansion, is prominently featured on the T-shirt. This image clearly indicates that the revamped version of Azeroth from the Cataclysm expansion may be coming to Classic WoW.
For those unfamiliar with the lore, Deathwing was once known as Neltharion, one of the Dragon Aspects. However, he was corrupted by the whispers of the Old Gods and transformed into Deathwing. As this fearsome character, Deathwing caused widespread destruction throughout Azeroth, particularly during the Cataclysm expansion.
While Neltharion appears in Dragonflight, it is only as a memory of the past. Players delve into his origins and learn more about the history of Dracthyr Evokers.
Cataclysm was originally released in 2010 and introduced significant changes to the game. Along with new raids and revamped dungeons, the expansion brought an overhauled talent system, class adjustments, and a complete revamp of the old world.
Although many players were hoping for Classic+ with expanded content, it seems more likely that Blizzard will opt for a simpler and cheaper option by re-releasing Cataclysm. This would not require designing new content or dealing with the challenges of balancing.
In conclusion, the new Deathwing T-shirt in the Blizzard store strongly suggests that Cataclysm Classic may be the next step for World of Warcraft Classic. Players can look forward to revisiting the revamped Azeroth and experiencing the challenges and changes brought by the Cataclysm expansion.
