A Hytale project
A recreation of World of Warcraft Classic, rebuilt block by block inside Hytale, enriched with select Classic+ ideas and world updates. Explore our evolving Azeroth on our multiplayer server, or download the mod and bring our upgraded take on Classic to your own Hytale world.
The story so far
WowTale is a fan project with a simple goal that takes a very long time: rebuild World of Warcraft Classic inside Hytale. Walking into the world will feel familiar yet new at the same time.
We are recreating the zones, creatures, dungeons and systems of the original game using Hytale's engine and art style. Not a reskin and not a loose tribute, but the actual layouts, NPCs and lantern-lit mine tunnels you remember, rebuilt by hand.
The project ships two ways: a persistent multiplayer server you can join, and a downloadable mod for running Azeroth in your own world.
Two ways to play
Whichever way you play, it is the same handbuilt Azeroth underneath.
Multiplayer
A persistent world shared with the whole community. Level through Elwynn with strangers who become guildmates, form groups at the mine entrance, and meet us in Goldshire. Server hosting is provided through our partner BisectHosting.
Server hosting
Downloadable
Prefer to host your own world, play with a small group of friends, or explore alone? The mod brings the full recreation to any Hytale world you control. Release lands alongside the public playtest. Progress updates are posted on Discord.
Follow developmentWhat we are building
Classic was never about one feature. It was the sum of a thousand small decisions, and we are remaking them carefully.
Elwynn Forest, Northshire and the roads to Stormwind, rebuilt block by block from the original layouts. Every hill, mine and murloc camp where you remember it.
Abilities, skills, cooldowns and stats, remade around Hytale's modern action combat. Positioning matters.
Instanced runs built for groups, from cramped mine tunnels to full dungeons. Bring friends, assign roles, and mind the patrols.
Wolves, kobolds, harvest golems and worse, each remodelled in Hytale's style with their original behaviour and loot intact.
One persistent multiplayer server where levelling, trading and world events happen alongside other players, not in a lobby.
Gathering, crafting and a player-driven economy are planned for later phases, following the classic profession trees upgraded with more modern features.

Everything shown will keep improving.
Creature spotlight
Anyone who levelled through the human lands remembers these things lurching between the wheat rows. Ours is rebuilt from scratch in Hytale's boxy, hand-painted style: straw bursting from the joints, a battered farmhand's hat, and those red eyes.
Every creature in WowTale gets this treatment. Original silhouette, original behaviour, remade with love in a new engine.
Development happens in the open. Screenshots, votes on what gets built next, playtest news and the occasional murloc noise, all on our Discord.
