Soon, players will get the chance to experience one of WoW’s most polarizing expansions all over again when World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic releases next month. It won’t be long before playerx can experience the drastic change to Azeroth that first occurred back in 2010. Along with the expansion, there are a few pre-order options to nab some extra goodies in both the modern and classic versions of the MMO. This guide has the details on what players can expect from the pre-orders of Cataclysm Classic.
How To Play WoW Classic on the Steam Deck — Complete Setup Tutorial
World of Warcraft Classic (including HC and SoD) can be played on the Steam Deck via a simple process of getting Battlenet and Curseforge working.
When Does WoW Cataclysm Classic Release?
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic will be released on May 20, with the pre-patch set to drop on April 30. When the expansion is released, all WoW Classic progression realms will move from Wrath of the Lich King to Cataclysm, and players can begin their journey into the reshaped world of Azeroth.
Cataclysm Classic will also see a more frequent release schedule, with the major patches releasing in quicker succession, as well as seeing several tweaks and changes to the game to make the experience better for players.
All Cataclysm Classic Pre-order Options
While Cataclysm Classic will be included in the subscription price of World of Warcraft, there are a few options for additional goodies players can get in both Classic and Retail versions of the game. This includes mounts, transmogs, and some other bonuses for players. These are as follows:
Blazing Heroic Pack – $29.99/£24.99

World of Warcraft Hosting Mists of Pandaria Event
Hot off the heels of Plunderstorm, World of Warcraft reveals a new limited-time event that will take players back to Mists of Pandaria in a big way.
Blazing Epic Upgrade – $79.99/£64.99

Cataclysm Classic isn’t the only new release for WoW this year; in fact, the game has a rather stacked release schedule. Dragonflight will soon be entering its fourth season, while further in the year, players will see World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria, a new limited-time event coming in the next major patch for Retail.
In addition, the new expansion, The War Within, is on the horizon, with beta sign-ups open now for players wanting to test the game’s new features. Add to that Season of Discovery, with its next few phases coming over the year, and it’s painting a rather bright future for the MMO.
