March of the Lich King Release Date
The new expansion will launch worldwide on December 6, 2022. We do not know the exact launch time. However, we expect it to go live at 10:00 Pacific Time. Most previous expansions have made their debut between 10:00-11:00 am PDT time frame.
However, you probably will be unable to play the game at the exact launch time due to the heavy traffic. The Halloween event this year brought in so much traffic that the server speed was almost 0!
