Blizzard has officially announced that Hardcore Servers are coming to the WoW Classic! After the Hardcore Allstars Event has concluded, Blizzard Developer Aggrend has announced that Hardcore Servers are on its way this year! 

Blizzard has just announced that they will be making official WoW Classic Hardcore realms, where players create one-life characters. Here is a quick break down of the details surrounding official Hardcore realms —

    • WoW Classic Hardcore will be on PTR in several weeks and launching later this Summer
    • If your one-life character dies, you will be able to continue playing as a Ghost, unable to resurrect.
    • Blizzard will be adding a new duel mechanic, where players can choose to duel to the death, if they so desire. /makgora is the command
    • Hardcore FRESH is going to be its own thing separate from the next WoW Classic Season. Blizzard will share more details later this year regarding the next Season…

As Senior Game Producer Aggrend just confirmed on the Hardcore All-Stars stream, we’ve been working to bring official Hardcore Classic gameplay to WoW Classic. We’ve been very energized by the community’s enthusiasm for Hardcore, watching along with you, and doing a lot of Hardcore play ourselves.

We’ll let you know much more about it soon!
