World of Warcraft Classic – Mists of Pandaria Classic: The Thunder King

Gather heroes, sound the drums, the Thunder King comes! The time is nigh to spearhead an assault on the Thunder King's stronghold. The Thunder King content update delivers two new zones—Isle of Thunder and Isle of Giants, a new gear upgrade system—Thunderforging, a new legendary chapter, two new world bosses—Oondasta and Nalak, and the Throne of Thunder 12-encounter raid arriving shortly after launch. In addition, this content update ushers in the continuation of the Legendary questline, introduces new Scenarios, an update to the Challenge Mode system, and includes the latest updates to Celestial Dungeons.

  • Two New Zones: This update introduces the Isle of Thunder and the Isle of Giants! You'll need to collaborate with fellow champions to unlock each stage of the island by taking part in new PvE and PvP-themed dailies, completing a campaign quest, and engaging in scenarios.
  • Two New World Bosses: Each zone in The Thunder King content update has its own World Boss—the Isle of Thunder is home to Nalak, the Storm Lord, whilst the Isle of Giants is home to the Zandalari experiment, Oondasta.
  • New Raid: The Throne of Thunder: Emperor Lei Shen, the Thunder King, has returned to wreak his vengeance on Pandaria. The Throne of Thunder is a sprawling citadel housing 12 raid encounters.
