World of Warcraft Classic readies its Cataclysm chapter

Today Blizzard announced that Cataclysm Classic, the latest expansion for World of Warcraft Classic, launches on May 20.

Released in 2019, WoW Classic is a separate version of the popular MMO that allows players to experience what the game was like in its original state (before it had decades worth of tweaks and updates). Cataclysm follows on the heels of Wrath of the Lich King, and features the return of the fiery dragon Deathwing, whose rampage across Azeroth will result in permanent changes to the in-game world.
