World of Warcraft Classic Reveals When Season of Discovery\'s Phase 7 Will Launch

by Andrew Mar 03,2025

World of Warcraft Classic's Season of Discovery concludes with its seventh and final phase, launching January 28th. This highly anticipated update introduces the Karazhan Crypts dungeon, a challenging 5-player experience located beneath the iconic Karazhan tower. Players will also face the return of the Scourge Invasions, a large-scale event spanning Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, offering new quests and rewards at Light's Hope Chapel. Defeating Scourge creatures yields Necrotic Runes, redeemable for powerful consumables from Rune Brokers.

The update's centerpiece, however, is the legendary Naxxramas raid, opening February 6th. This iconic raid, previously a significant challenge in the original World of Warcraft, returns with a new "Empower" difficulty mode, adding an extra layer of complexity for seasoned raiders. Conquering Naxxramas' four wings unlocks access to the Frostwyrm Lair and its final bosses, Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad.

While Phase 7 marks the end of Season of Discovery, it's not the end of the road for World of Warcraft Classic. Blizzard promises a busy 2025, leaving players eagerly awaiting future updates and the continuation of seasonal content. The mystery of the Shadowy Figure, glimpsed in Phase 6, remains unresolved, fueling speculation about its potential reappearance.
