Blizzard’s summer relaunch of Mists of Pandaria invites WoW Classic players back to Pandaria with new challenges and rewards.
After dethroning The Lich King, and defeating Deathwing in WoW Classic: Cataclysm, Blizzard sets it sights on yet another classic expansion for World of Warcraft Classic. Adventurers will be able to re-experience The Mists of Pandaria in the Summer. Fans will be able to explore ancient kingdoms from before the Sundering, plunder treasures from the depths of the forgotten vault and defend Pandaria from a buried threat from ages ago. The latest Mists of Pandaria trailer from November 2024’s reveal announcement can be seen below.
To prepare World of Warcraft Classic players for the impending return to Pandaria, Azerothians have three new optional bundles and services available in the Battle.net shop to ease adventurers into their new Pandaren lifestyle. The bundles and listed contents can be seen below.
