World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic has announced a much-anticipated release date for its crucial update, Hour of Twilight, slated for February 18. Players can gear up for a robust lineup of content, with the Dragon Soul raid launching on February 20, and the Alizabal encounter in Baradin Hold starting on February 25. These additions promise to keep players immersed in the expansive universe of World of Warcraft Classic across this eventful month.

Hour of Twilight marks a pivotal moment in the Cataclysm storyline, where adventurers embark on a time-bending journey through three new dungeons to confront Deathwing, the notorious corrupted black dragon Aspect. This epic showdown is critical in preventing the looming apocalypse threatening Azeroth.

As February 18 approaches, players will be eager to dive back into this narrative. The Hour of Twilight patch will bring back cherished dungeons from Cataclysm, including End Time, Well of Eternity, and the titular Hour of Twilight. Adventurers will need to possess an item level of at least 365 to participate in these challenging dungeons, where they will face Murozond, the Infinite Dragonflight’s leader. Defeating him is essential for retrieving the Dragon Soul from the War of the Ancients and turning it against the malevolent Deathwing.

February 18: Hour of Twilight content update undergoes regular maintenance.

February 25: Alizabal encounter opens with scheduled maintenance.

On February 20, at precisely 3 PM PST, the Dragon Soul raid will commence, where 10 and 25-player teams will confront servants of the Old Gods, Elementals, and the Twilight Hammer in their quest to defend Wyrmrest Temple and ultimately vanquish Deathwing. Subsequently, the formidable Shivarra, Alizabal, will offer a new challenge to raid groups on February 25, but only while Tol Barad is under the control of their faction.

Additionally, the Rogue class has an exciting opportunity tied to this update. The Fangs of the Father, a prestigious set of Legendary daggers, can be earned through a special questline featuring Wrathion, the renegade black dragon who plays an influential role in subsequent expansions. Rogues interested in this quest should connect with Lord Devrestrasz in the Dragon Soul raid after it opens.

As the final significant patch of Cataclysm approaches, it signals that the launch of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic is on the horizon. Although there is no specific release date announced yet, projections suggest it could arrive by early autumn 2025, with a Pre-Patch anticipated during the summer months.
