Shadowburn
For more than fifteen years, Northrend has waited beneath the frost. Shadowburn rebuilds the world we remember — stable, balanced, and built for a story that goes deeper than the ice.
Work In Progress
Shadowburn isn't live yet, and we're in no rush to change that. Our development team is hard at work behind the scenes — building, testing and polishing every system before the gates open. We'll be sharing progress updates from time to time as milestones are reached, so keep an eye on the news and roadmap.
A few numbers that matter more than promises.
Launch DateThe core team is building and testing behind closed doors — no rushed release, no paid beta. A slip into early 2028 is on the table if that's what a stable, finished realm needs.
Gameplay & StoryThe full Blizzlike Lich King campaign stays intact underneath everything — then keeps going past it, with new questlines, characters and corners of Northrend the original story never told.
Custom SystemsThe seasonal Battle Pass, plus four opt-in character modes — Questbound, Deathbound, Battlebound and Grimbound. More land with every content patch as the world grows past Northrend.
Today marks the official start of Shadowburn — the project is now in active development, with the core team building toward our December 15, 2027 launch date.
Solid progress this stretch on both fronts — the server core is taking shape behind the scenes, and the website has grown to cover realm stats, leaderboards, guilds and more.
First internal tests are complete and everything looks solid — no major issues found. Development continues on schedule.
We're a small volunteer team looking for a Core Developer, a Database Developer, a Graphic Developer and a few Game Masters before launch.
