Following a recent leak, Blizzard Entertainment has announced the exact release date for the Burning Crusade Classic expansion on the official website of its massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft.

Recall that World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic was officially announced for the current year, and ahead of time, the banner published in the Battle.net application predicted a release on June 1.

As it became known, Burning Crusade Classic will actually be released on June 1, but not in all regions. For users in Russia, the extension will become available on June 2 at 1:00 Moscow time.

Already on May 18, after scheduled maintenance, an update will be available prior to the Burning Crusade Classic: users will have to decide whether to continue their journey to the Burning Crusade or stay in the classic era.

In addition, players will be able to use the paid service of creating a copy of a character, which will allow them to sit on two chairs at once. Details of the procedure are available on the official Battle.net website.

Heroes who decide to go through the Dark Portal will find themselves on the Peninsula of Hellfire, dominated by fel orcs and fierce demons. In the power of the players – “Fight for this shattered world and exterminate the evil rooted in it”.

There is no need to buy Burning Crusade Classic separately: the expansion is part of the World of Warcraft subscription. You can purchase it in the Battle.net Store – there are plans for a month, three months and half a year.
