WoW’s 20th Anniversary In-Game Celebrations Now Live!

World of Warcraft is approaching its official 20th Anniversary on 23 November and players can take part in a myriad of in-game activities commemorating two decades of adventure, as the first content update for The War Within (11.0.5) is now live!

The Champions of Azeroth, past and present, are invited to the Caverns of Time tucked away in the wastelands of Tanaris for a special celebration and opportunities to earn a plethora of rewards. Here’s a glimpse of what players can look forward to in the 20th Anniversary update:

NEW CLASSIC RAID: Blackrock Depths

  • This classic era dungeon has been refashioned into a 10-15 player, 8-boss raid available in LFR, Normal and Heroic difficulties. 

NEW TIMEWALKING: Classic Dungeons

  • Classic dungeons will be offered in the LFD group finder and will officially enter the Timewalking rotation beyond the anniversary event. 
  • Deadmines (original classic version)
  • Dire Maul (east and west wings)
  • Stratholme (living and undead wings)

NEW WORLD BOSSES

  • Additional raid bosses are making a return with updated rewards in addition to previous anniversary raid bosses:
  • Sha of Anger (from Mists of Pandaria)
  • Archavon the Stonewatcher (from Wrath of the Lich King)

LEGENDARY REWARDS

  • New mounts, pets, and classic transmog sets will be available to earn using a new currency, Bronze Celebration Tokens.
  • Additionally, updated modern versions of the Tier 2 armor sets will be purchasable with Bronze Celebration Tokens, available for all classes with new ones created for classes that were not available in the classic Tier 2 era!

Content update 11.0.5 will also bring additional changes and features for players to enjoy, including class balance updates, new quests and the expansion of the Dracthyr race into six new combat classes including rogue, mage and priest.
