Rumor: Mists of Pandaria May Come to WoW Classic Soon

Key Takeaways

  • Recent WoW mounts added to the Cataclysm Classic Public Test Realm potentially hint at Mists of Pandaria Classic on the horizon.
  • WoW Classic is speeding through Cataclysm.
  • Fans are excited about the possibility of a WoW: Mists of Pandaria Classic announcement in the future.

As a long-time WoW player with memories stretching back to the original release of Mists of Pandaria, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia and excitement at the rumors swirling around the potential arrival of Mists of Pandaria Classic. The thought of returning to the lush landscapes of Pandaria on retro servers is almost too tantalizing to bear!

It appears that in the latest update on the World of Warcraft Classic Public Test Realm, a Sha-touched tiger and cloud serpent mount have been introduced. This might suggest that the expansion known as Mists of Pandaria could soon make its way onto the retro servers. Although nothing official has been announced yet, these new mounts seem tailor-made for a potential Mists of Pandaria Classic, which could mean an announcement is imminent.

Currently, “World of Warcraft Classic” is rapidly advancing through the “Cataclysm” expansion, with the “Rage of the Firelands” set to be released on October 29. Following this, there’s just one more significant patch left for “World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic”, tentatively scheduled for January 2025, under the name “Hour of Twilight”. At the moment, it’s uncertain what awaits the “Classic” progression realms following this final update.

It’s possible that World of Warcraft is hinting at the next stop on the Classic journey, as a recent build of Cataclysm Classic has added two new mounts: a Sha-tainted tiger and a cloud serpent. These mounts could potentially signal a hypothetical Mists of Pandaria Classic expansion, as they were shared by World of Warcraft content creator MrGM on Twitter.

Sha-Touched Mounts – WoW: Mists of Pandaria Classic Coming Soon?

For the potential upgrade of the Mists of Pandaria Classic, if announced, these mounts would be ideal selections. Each Classic expansion has showcased distinctive and visually captivating mounts in their optional packs. If these new mounts hypothetically appear in the additional upgrade for Mists of Pandaria, akin to the Avatar of Flame and Runebound Firelord from World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic, there’s a chance that one or both could also be adapted for contemporary World of Warcraft as well.

It’s possible that we could get an announcement about the return of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic in the near future. During World of Warcraft’s presentation at Gamescom 2024, they announced that a dedicated Warcraft Direct would be held before the end of the year, presumably to celebrate both the franchise’s 30-year anniversary on November 15 and World of Warcraft’s 20th anniversary on November 23. Given this timeline, it wouldn’t be unexpected for the showcase to occur around those dates.

Some players are pondering if it’s necessary for World of Warcraft Classic to venture into the land of Mists of Pandaria. Given that modern World of Warcraft has just concluded its Mists of Pandaria Remix event, one might question if Classic should revisit this territory. However, the buzz generated by this speculation indicates a strong desire among players to experience World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic. In fact, the WoW Remix seems to have ignited even more enthusiasm for the expansion than before.
