Black Temple arrives in Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition; Venomous Abyss Story Mode opens
This week in World of Warcraft, the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition welcomes a major expansion with the live launch of Black Temple. Simultaneously, The Venomous Abyss introduces its second wing via Story Mode and Raid Finder. The seasonal Trading Post shifts focus to friendship for BlizzCon 2026, offering a new mount reward, while the Northrend Cup returns with skyriding races across iconic locations. Players can also claim the Hearthkeeper's Wandering Caravan ground mount and explore the fresh Vibrant Petalweave Collection.
In the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition, Illidan Stormrage has reclaimed the Black Temple as his fortress, amassing an army of fel warriors. The raid now features two new instances: Black Temple (Illidan the Betrayer) and The Battle for Mount Hyjal (Archimonde). A new daily faction and quest hub has opened in the Netherwing area within Shadowmoon Valley, and Arena Season 3 is live with updated progression and rewards from Outland quartermasters. Additionally, players can enhance their gear using new Epic Gems.
To honor the lives lost in Hellfire Peninsula to the Fel Reaver stomp, Blizzard Entertainment has partnered with drum-and-bass icon @Venjent for a special event. This collaboration challenges players to face a giant Fel foot while listening to powerful drum and bass music, asking if the rhythm can defeat the titanic foe.
Within the depths of The Venomous Abyss, the ancient force Ula'tek has been awakened by Zul'jan's actions. This raid dungeon now features Story Mode and Raid Finder Wing 2. Players must gather allies to carve a path through the vaults and confront Ula'tek in her inner sanctum, facing threats of hatred, corruption, and venom.
September marks a special month at the Trading Post as Azeroth celebrates BlizzCon 2026. The monthly bonus reward is the Crested Ember Leafmimic Mount, described as a sturdy leafmimic found only in warm areas with red scales that allow it to hide in heated alcoves. Players can complete activities in the Traveler's Log, located in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J), to fill the monthly bar and earn this mount.
The Trading Post representatives from T&W (Tawney and Wilder) and Zen'shiri are available at specific locations: just outside the Mage District in Stormwind, next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar, in Dornogal on the Isle of Dorn, and in the renewed Silvermoon City.
The Northrend Cup returns with daring Skyriding races featuring exclusive rewards. The event runs from August 25 to September 8 and begins in Valdrakken, Stormwind City, Orgrimmar, and Northrend. Players should trek to Valdrakken in the Dragon Isles to speak with Lord Andestrasz near the Rostrum of Transformation to pick up the initial quest. Races are spread across Northrend with options for Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations.
For those pushing deeper into dangerous territory or checking mail far from town, the Hearthkeeper's Wandering Caravan ground mount offers repair and mailbox access on the go. It is described as the coziest way to travel across Azeroth.
Fresh fashion is now available with the Vibrant Petalweave Collection. This collection includes floral hues and a headpiece designed to let your hairstyle shine through. Players can purchase the complete collection in one bundle or select their favorite items individually from the shop.
