WoW Classic Announces Launch Date for Season of Discovery Phase 7

World of Warcraft Classic enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The seventh and final phase of Season of Discovery is set to launch on January 28, bringing with it exciting new content. Players will dive into the newly introduced Karazhan Crypts dungeon, located beneath the iconic tower in Deadwind Pass, and face the chilling challenge of the Scourge Invasions event. This event will see hordes of undead creatures swarming various zones and cities across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, providing ample opportunities for players to engage in thrilling combat and undertake new quests at Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands. Collecting Necrotic Runes from these undead foes will unlock the chance to acquire new consumable items, enhancing your gameplay experience.

Following the launch of Phase 7, the anticipation builds further as guilds prepare to tackle the fabled Naxxramas raid starting February 6. Naxxramas promises to be a formidable challenge, offering a new "Empower" difficulty option for those seeking an extra layer of intensity. After conquering the four wings of Naxxramas, players will advance to the Frostwyrm Lair to confront the final bosses, Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad.

Phase 7 comes hot on the heels of Phase 6, which took players back to Silithus to engage in the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest chain and the Ahn'qiraj raids. Throughout these adventures, players encountered a mysterious Shadowy Figure, speculated to be Xal'atath from World of Warcraft: The War Within. Although the figure's role was minimal in Phase 6, leaving only cryptic comments about the Old Gods, fans are eager to see if it will make a final appearance in the concluding phase.

As Season of Discovery reaches its finale, new runes will become available from Rune Brokers stationed across Azeroth's starting zones and capital cities, adding another layer of excitement and strategy to the game. While Season of Discovery wraps up, World of Warcraft Classic's 2025 calendar remains packed with events and updates across all versions, ensuring that the journey continues beyond Phase 7.
