"World of Warcraft Classic: Season of Discovery Phase 7 Launch Date Revealed"

Summary

• World of Warcraft Classic's Season of Discovery will launch its seventh and final phase on January 28.
• Phase 7 will introduce the Karazhan Crypts dungeon and the Scourge Invasions event.
• Guilds can challenge the Naxxramas raid starting February 6.

Blizzard has announced that World of Warcraft Classic will enter the seventh and final phase of Season of Discovery on January 28, bringing with it the new Karazhan Crypts dungeon and the Scourge Invasions event. Shortly after, on February 6, guilds will have the opportunity to tackle the iconic Naxxramas raid, which promises fresh challenges for players to conquer.

Phase 7 arrives just two months after Phase 6, which took players to Silithus for the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest chain and the Ahn'qiraj raids. During their adventures in Ahn'qiraj, players encountered a mysterious Shadowy Figure in the desert ruins. While some speculated this figure to be Xal'atath, the primary antagonist from World of Warcraft: The War Within, the NPC only made brief comments about the Old Gods in Phase 6. Whether this Shadowy Figure will make a final appearance in Phase 7 remains a mystery.

Although Phase 7 marks the end of Season of Discovery, World of Warcraft Classic players can look forward to new challenges. Following server maintenance on January 28, players can dive into the Karazhan Crypts, a new 5-player dungeon located in Deadwind Pass beneath the iconic Karazhan tower, which later became a 10-player raid in The Burning Crusade. Alongside this, the Scourge Invasions event will see undead monsters swarm various zones and cities in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. Players can participate in new quests at Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands, earning Necrotic Runes from undead enemies to acquire new consumable items.

World of Warcraft Classic's Season of Discovery Phase 7 Goes Live January 28

• Season of Discovery Phase 7 kicks off on Tuesday, January 28, post-server maintenance.
• Phase 7 introduces the Scourge Invasions event, the Karazhan Crypts dungeon, and the Naxxramas raid.
• New runes will be available from Rune Brokers across Azeroth.
• Naxxramas will feature an "Empower" difficulty option.

Upon the launch of Phase 7, new runes will be available from Rune Brokers in starting zones and capital cities. Just over a week later, on February 6, the Naxxramas raid will open its doors. Similar to Ahn'qiraj, Naxxramas will offer an "Empower" difficulty option, presenting additional challenges. After conquering the four wings of Naxxramas, players will face the final showdown in the Frostwyrm Lair against Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad.

While Season of Discovery concludes with Phase 7, World of Warcraft Classic has an exciting 2025 ahead across all its versions. What lies in store for the Seasonal realms remains to be seen, as Blizzard continues to evolve the game.
