Blizzard Entertainment has announced former World of Warcraft players can return to play the game for free, this weekend.
The new “Welcome Back Weekend” is already underway, and grants former subscribers access to their account and all their characters for free, through November 8th at 11:59 PM Pacific / 2:59 AM Eastern.
“You and your allies are needed back on the front lines,” Blizzard said in their blog. “This weekend, we’re giving all players with inactive World of Warcraft accounts full access to the game and all of your characters without a subscription.”
Furthermore, players will be able to access all of the game’s seven expansion packs and content, through Chromie, a bronze time dragon that appears as a gnome. You’ll be able to travel through the content as you see fit by returning to Chromie if you get bored or need to move on.
Opening up the entirety of World of Warcraft makes sense, as Blizzard is readying up to launch the game’s next expansion, Shadowlands, the eighth expansion pack for the popular and long-running MMORPG. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is launching on November 23rd, for Windows PC and Mac.
World of Warcraft is available now on Windows PC, and Mac (via Blizzard Entertainment).
