I can’t be the only one who finds it strangely funny how Blizzard keeps presenting these expansions for WoW Classic as if they’re debuting for the very first time and nobody has ever heard of them before (never mind spent a good chunk of 2024 playing Pandaria Remix). But here we are again, as the studio is hyping up Mists of Pandaria Classic with an overview of zones that have been in the game since 2012.

“Each zone of Pandaria is a chapter in a saga that unfolds across rolling jade hills, mist-shrouded peaks, and vibrant villages. Whether you are a fresh-faced wanderer or a seasoned champion, Pandaria’s seven main zones teem with stories to unravel, challenges to conquer, and wonders to explore,” Blizzard’s poet laureate wrote.

The pre-patch for Pandaria Classic is already live on the standard WoW Classic realms, allowing players to roll up a Pandaren, check out the Monk class, get used to the major talent revisions, and earn a free mount for retail. The expansion rollout happens for real on July 21st.
