With the Fall of the Lich King content Update, Wrath of the Lich King Classic players can engage in three new dungeons, join in the adventure in the Random Dungeon Finder, and much more.
For many years champions among the races of Azeroth have stood against the Lich King only to be slaughtered mercilessly and forced to serve in his army of undead horrors. In his ongoing struggle to stop the Lich King, Tiron Fordring of the Argent Crusade has joined forces with Darion Mograine of the Knights of the Ebon Blade in order to assault Icecrown Citadel with a unified army called the Ashen Verdict.
Venture into three new dungeons as a part of an initial assault on the Icecrown Citadel. You’ll take on the Lich King’s minions in The Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and the Halls of Reflection.
A new mode is now available—Defense Protocol Gamma. Upon entering a dungeon with Defense Protocol Gamma active, an agent of the Argent Tournament specific to your faction will be present and offer each player a selection of additional beneficial buffs. Each boss encountered within Defense Protocol Gamma dungeons will drop a Defiler’s Scourgestone currency. This currency can be used to purchase item level 245 Trial of the Crusader 25-player raid rewards from either Korralin Hoperender in the Alliance area of Dalaran or Kolara Dreamsmasher in the Horde area.
Players can now queue for the Random Dungeon Finder for individual dungeons in Normal, Heroic, Defense Protocol Alpha, Defense Protocol Beta, and Defense Protocol Gamma.
Players can now access a Quest Log and Quest Tracking. Quest Tracking provides you with more information to streamline your adventures. You’ll be able to open your quest log (hotkey: L), select a quest in your log and click “Show On Map”. Opening your map (hotkey: M) and selecting a zone where you have active quests will also display the quest tracking functionality. You can toggle this on and off by opening the map and checking or unchecking the “Show Quest Objectives” checkbox.
Players can now collect pets, mounts, and Heirloom items in one convenient location with many of these being available account wide.
Engage in twelve encounters across five wings within the Lich King’s stronghold when the Icecrown Citadel opens its doors on October 12 at 3:00 pm PDT (22:00 GMT) globally. Players can undertake the challenge of this raid dungeon in either Normal or Heroic modes. The Shadowmourne Legendary quest chain will also be available to Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors who believe they have what it takes to wield this legendary two-handed axe.

One of the beautiful things about our world is that plenty of places offer special items to those who want more than “just an experience.” For example, video games are an excellent way to have fun. But eventually, you put the games down and move on to something else. However, there are plenty of memorabilia and items that you can buy from those video game worlds that will stand out in your place and help you remember the games and characters more, even when you’re not playing their titles. Fans of Samus Aran have something to be excited about thanks to a pre-order that just launched.
The legends and tales of Azeroth aren't just in World of Warcraft anymore — they've made their way to Sanctuary! What better way to honor the return of Icecrown Citadel in Wrath of the Lich King Classic than to bring everyone's favorite undead steed to Sanctuary? Blizzard has released a new mount in Tejal's Shop in Diablo 4, and it is none other than the faithful mount of the Lich King himself. Invincible will ride through the wilds of Sanctuary, exploring new lands and bringing the icy winds of Northrend to a whole new world. Invincible Aspect in the Diablo 4 StoreInvincible Aspect costs 2,500 platinum, or $24.99 USD. Sadly without flight capabilities (the people of Sanctuary like to keep their feet on the ground), Invincible Aspect is still the same mount we know and love, complete with icy Lich King styled particles.
When Skull Island: Rise of Kong was released earlier this week, we reported on the visceral social media reactions to its rudimentary gameplay, PS2-esque graphics, and left-fielded bugs with many calling it "the worst game of 2023." The reason it's received that dubious title, however, is apparently because the developers only had a year to work on King Kong's latest video game outing.

The relaunch of Red Dead Online as a standalone title in late 2020 was something of a false dawn for its ever-optimistic community. Rockstar maintains the title but has been in a cycle for several years of repeating content, and it could fairly be said that this playerbase has been surviving on rations ever since 2020. This led to one of the best in-game protests I've ever seen, where a ton of RDO players gathered together in summer 2020 dressed up as clowns to protest the lack of substantial updates.
The Lord of the Rings Online has had a few events kick off this week, with the third attempt of its Combe Forester Event live this morning. Additionally, this week has seen the return of the Harvestmath festival in Middle-earth.
