Almost 20 years since World of Warcraft was introduced to the world, the beloved MMORPG is still going strong. Now its classic version is also set for a big new update with the Season of Discovery.<\/p>\n

Otherwise known as \u201cClassic+,\u201d the new classical seasonal experience takes inspiration from a concept fans have been asking for since the game\u2019s original launch.<\/p>\n

Described as the \u201cvanilla world of Warcraft,\u201d it will feature reworked classes, a bigger emphasis on exploration and lots of new abilities to keep players happy for hours on end. Not to mention, the new gated levelling and raid content that aims to make the game as competitive as it was during its early days.<\/p>\n

Since Blizzard has decided to forgo the beta testing phase, Season of Discovery will be landing straight in public servers for World of Warcraft Classic in November. When exactly though? Head below for all the details.<\/p>\n

When is the World of Warcraft Season of Discovery release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blizzard has confirmed that World of Warcraft Season of Discovery will arrive in-game on Thursday<\/strong> 30th November 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The original announcement for Season of Discovery was made at Blizzcon in August 2023, where several future seasonal updates were teased. The next will be Cataclysm sometime in 2024.<\/p>

What time will World of Warcraft Season of Discovery be available in the UK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Going off previous World of Warcraft updates, we can expect to see Season of Discovery at 3PM PST. So, for players in the UK, they can expect to jump in around at around 11PM that day.<\/p>\n

With the number of people jumping in and downloading the update simultaneously, it might be best to wait until December 1st to avoid any disappointment.<\/p>\n

Since Microsoft\u2019s acquisition of World of Warcraft developer Activision Blizzard, the studio has been relatively quiet. What we do know is that in Season of Discovery, players will begin at level one and be capped at level 25.<\/p>\n

New previously unfinished areas will also appear alongside new level-up raids, PvP events, a Rune Engraving system and the Blackfathom Deeps dungeon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Season of Discovery, players will discover new secrets by scouring Azeroth to find class-altering abilities. Tanking Warlocks, Mage healers, and more will be possible. The Season will launch with an initial level cap of 25, and upon reaching max level, players will be met with a new level-25 endgame!\u201d said Blizzard upon its announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscover a 10-player Blackfathom Deeps raid with new and reimagined bosses, mechanics, and rewards. Not long after, the level cap will be increased by a few levels, bringing even more endgame content.\u201d<\/p>\n
