Playing in these new servers will be a dangerous affair, since dying will mean that your character gets permanently killed.

While the studio itself hasn’t revealed any details about features of the new hardcore servers, Blizzard developer Josh Greenfield had shown up during a hardcore speedrun tournament livestream to provide us with a little bit of information.

According to Greenfield, hardcore servers will function completely separately from World of Warcraft Classic‘s seasonal servers, and that players on the hardcore servers will be able to partake in a new dueling mechanic, dubbed mak’gora, where players can challenge each other to duels to the death.

The hardcore servers don’t yet have a release date aside from a summer release window, but a public test realm will be coming to the game soon to allow players to test out the new hardcore features.

World of Warcraft Classic is currently in the midst of its Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and earlier this year, got a new difficulty mode for the game’s dungeons.

In 2021, Blizzard added to the experience with World of Warcraft Classic: Burning Crusade, giving the same treatment to the MMO’s first expansion. Now, it seems there’s more to come. As spotted by Wowhead, the company has recently been sending out surveys to users that might suggest that a classic release of Wrath of the Lich King is in the works as well.

Following a survey last month asking fans if they would be interested in a Wrath of the Lich King Classic launch, another newly sent out survey inquires purchase options, with two bundle options mentioned.

Interestingly, similar surveys were sent out for Burning Crusade Classic before it was announced, so it’s possible that a similar announcement and subsequent launch is in the pipeline for Wrath of the Lich King as well. Given that it’s considered the best World of Warcraft expansion to date, that’s something a whole lot of the MMORPG’s fans will be hoping for.

Meanwhile, regular World of Warcraft’s next expansion is also going to be unveiled on April 19. According to leaks, it’ll be called Dragonflight.
