WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 2 Features
The announcement post on the officialWorld of WarcraftTwitter account seems to suggest some other surprises in store as well. The short video shows a character in Stranglethorn Vale watching the sun as it quickly turns bright, bloody red. While this could just be a reference to the bloodshed to come in the new PvP event, it is also possible it could have a connection to a new secret. The endgame Zul’Gurub raid–and the origin of theinfamous Blood Plague of Hakkar inWorld of Warcraft–is located in that zone, so the bloody sky could have some tie to the iconic raid boss in some way.
Regardless, Phase 2 is only the beginning of Season of Discovery’s journey this year. TheWorld of Warcraftroadmap for 2024revealedClassicSeason of Discovery has at least four more phases planned: Phase 2 at level 40, Phase 3 at 50, and Phase 4 and 5 at 60. While fans can only speculate as to what secrets they might uncover in these various updates, considering how many surprises have been found in just the first phase of Season of Discovery,World of Warcraft Classicfans are likely in for a ride as the updates roll out.
