WoW's 20th anniversary event will bring Blackrock Depths as a revamped raid, a return to the opening of Ahn'Qiraj, classic dungeon timewalking, and modernized Tier 2 transmogs

While it causes me terrible psychic harm to admit, World of Warcraft is almost 20 years old. Earlier today, Blizzard released a video detailing its plans for WoW's 20th anniversary event, where it'll be bringing back classic dungeons, kicking off time-warping public events at the gates of Ahn'Qiraj, modernizing some of the finest armor sets of yesteryear, and generally making millions of Vanilla WoW players feel as though they're at risk of crumbling into dust.

First up on the festivities is the return of Blackrock Depths. The sprawling, multi-wing, subterranean dungeon was a beloved—or reviled, depending on who you ask—fixture of early WoW life, and it'll be returning for the 20th anniversary as a 10 to 15-player raid. It'll have eight revamped bosses and five minibosses, and will be runnable in LFR, Normal, and Heroic difficulties. If you've never been, expect lots of dwarves, elementals, and struggles with the map.
