The Mists of Pandaria Classic beta does not have a release date yet, but what information is known can give players a good guess as to when it will arrive. WoW Classic: Mists of Pandaria is set to launch no later than August 31.

As they wait for the beta, WoW fans can pick up the Mists of Pandaria Classic Upgrade Packs. While they are not required to play Mists of Pandaria Classic when it releases, these bundles include tons of brand-new Sha-themed cosmetics for both modern and Classic, making them a must-have for fans of the expansion.
