Today marks a huge milestone for our community and the future of private servers.
We are proud to present the first working preview of Cataclysm Classic, running on a 2025 client powered by Patch 4.4.

Getting here was anything but easy.
The road was long, filled with technical challenges, setbacks, and endless hours of development.
Very few teams in the history of private servers have ever managed to accomplish something of this scale - and among those, we want to give a huge thanks to the amazing and experienced developers from Stormforge, who contributed to making this possible.
It's a great reminder that collaboration between projects is alive and well - and stronger than ever.

With this Closed Alpha, we're showcasing the first glimpse of what players can expect:
a true Cataclysm experience, reimagined for modern systems, fully native for 2025.

And this is just the beginning.
We are committed to bringing Classic client support to even more expansions in the future - with full native compatibility across Windows, macOS, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and other handheld platforms.

Soon, we'll be opening up Beta testing for all of you.
We can't wait to show you even more of what we've been building - not just for Cataclysm, but for the journey ahead.

And in 2026, Classic might get a little... wrathful.

Watch the full preview below and step into the future with us.

Stay tuned.
