Summary
World of Warcraftrecently added a Sha-touched tiger and cloud serpent mount to theCataclysmClassic Public Test Realm, which could hint thatMists of Pandariais coming to the retro servers soon. While nothing has been confirmed yet, these two newWorld of Warcraftmounts would be perfect fits forMists of Pandaria Classic, meaning an announcement could be just around the corner.
Right now,World of Warcraft Classicis speeding throughCataclysm, with Rage of the Firelands releasing on October 29. From there, only one more major patch remains forWorld of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic, with Hour of Twilight currently planned for January 2025. At the moment, fans don’t know what is in store for theClassicprogression realms after this final update.
However,World of Warcraftmay have just confirmed the next destination on theClassicjourney. In a recent build of theCataclysm ClassicPTR, two new mounts have been added: a Sha-corrupted tiger and cloud serpent, both of which could easily be associated with a theoreticalMists of Pandaria Classicexpansion.World of Warcraftcontent creator MrGM captured footage of the new mounts in action and shared them on Twitter.
Sha-Touched Mounts – WoW: Mists of Pandaria Classic Coming Soon?
These mounts would be the perfect picks for theMists of Pandaria Classicupgrade, assuming it is announced. EachClassicexpansion has featured unique and visually stunning mounts in their respective optional bundles. If these new mounts end up being in the theoretical optional upgrade forMists of Pandaria, similar to the Avatar of Flame andRunebound Firelord fromWorld of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic, it is possible that one or both could get a version for modernWoWas well.
IfWorld of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classicis coming, players could hear an announcement for it soon. DuringWorld of Warcraft’s presentation at Gamescom 2024, it confirmed the very firstWarcraftDirect would happen before the end of the year, ostensibly to celebrate the franchise’s 30-year anniversary on November 15 andWoW’s 20th anniversary on November 23, so it would not be surprising for the showcase to take place around then.
Of course, some fans wonder ifWorld of Warcraft Classiceven needs to go toMists of Pandaria. ModernWorld of Warcraftonly just recently finished up theMists of Pandaria Remixevent, prompting the question of whetherClassicneeds to retread that ground. That said, the excitement that has been sparked by this rumor alone suggests players would love to seeWorld of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic, so it seemsWoW Remixonly made fans even more excited about the expansion than they might have been.
