Blizzard has confirmed that the long-awaited Ahn'Qiraj update for World of Warcraft Classic volition be released on July 28.

"We're putting the finishing touches on the next patch for WoW Archetype . Version ane.13.5 volition get alive in July," reads a postal service from a Blizzard community manager on the World of Warcraft forums. "With that patch, we'll be set to unlock the content we've been testing on the PTR. The Ahn'Qiraj content will unlock with the weekly raid reset on July 28 for all realms in this region. At that time, players tin begin the quest chain to craft a Scepter of the Shifting Sands, and players tin can plough in gathered resource to advance the Ahn'Qiraj war effort. Once both of those activities are completed on a given realm, the gates of Ahn'Qiraj will exist available to be opened. Nosotros'll see yous there!"

Equally that mail service notes, information technology seems that the July 28 release of the Ahn'Qiraj update will be proceeded by a patch designed to help Blizzard push that update alive. While there's no word on when that patch will striking (outside of that vague July window) information technology doesn't seem that WoW Classic players will exist able to access any new content on the live version of the game until July 28.

Every bit long-time WoW fans know, though, the nature of this update means that there'south really no guarantee regarding when WoW Classic players will actually be able to participate in the new Ahn'Qiraj raid.

The release of the Ahn'Qiraj raid (which is commonly referred to equally AQ forty) marked ane of the biggest moments in the history of vanilla WoW . At the time of AQ forty'south initial release, Horde and Brotherhood players were required to substantially work together in order to assemble the resources needed to unlock the raid on their server. This event led to a number of fascinating stories besides equally technical bug that infamously crashed many WoW servers every bit thousands gathered in anticipation of AQ's official opening.

Considering this WoW Classic update will replicate the mechanics of AQ twoscore'south original release, there's no guarantee regarding when the raid volition be unlocked on your server. It all depends on when the necessary quest steps are completed and the necessary materials are turned in. That being said, players are now aware of what materials are needed to open the AQ gates, and many of the elevation guilds on the game'due south diverse servers have been working together to gather them for quite some time at present. Every bit such, you shouldn't have to look too long to enter AQ xl, although players on some smaller (or imbalanced) servers may have to wait longer than others.

Nosotros'll bring you more information about this WoW Archetype update (and details on the upcoming World of Warcraft : Shadowlands expansion) as it becomes available.
