World of Warcraft Classic's Season of Discovery concludes with its seventh and final phase, launching January 28th. This major update introduces the Karazhan Crypts dungeon, a challenging 5-player experience located beneath the iconic Karazhan tower. Simultaneously, the Scourge Invasions event unleashes waves of undead across Azeroth, offering new quests and rewards at Light's Hope Chapel. Players can collect Necrotic Runes to purchase potent consumables.

A week later, on February 6th, guilds will confront the legendary Naxxramas raid. This iconic raid, offering a fresh take on classic encounters, includes a new "Empower" difficulty setting for seasoned players seeking an even greater challenge. Conquering Naxxramas' four wings unlocks access to the Frostwyrm Lair and its final bosses, Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad. New runes will become available from Rune Brokers throughout Azeroth.

Phase 7 marks the culmination of Season of Discovery, following closely on the heels of Phase 6's Silithus content and Ahn'qiraj raids. The enigmatic Shadowy Figure, previously sighted in Ahn'qiraj, remains a mystery, with its potential reappearance in Phase 7 yet to be confirmed.

While Season of Discovery concludes, World of Warcraft Classic's future remains bright, promising further adventures in 2025 across all game versions. Blizzard's long-term plans for seasonal realms are still under wraps.
