World of Warcraft Classic has been taking players back to the old vanilla days for over a year, but the time has come to start going beyond what the early era had to offer. Blizzard Entertainment will be jumping into the original days of WoW's very first expansion: The Burning Crusade. On Thursday, the publisher announced an official release date for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic. Blizzard is planning a simultaneous worldwide release for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic. All regions will see the expansion drop on June 1, 2021 at 3 p.m. PT. At this time, the Dark Portal will open up with the Hellfire Peninsula awaiting on the other side.
