About Project Ebonhold
Project Ebonhold reimagines Wrath of the Lich King as a rogue-lite on the 3.3.5a client. Instead of a single long character, you play in Runs: each run starts at level 1, you stack randomly offered powers called Echoes and push as far as you can before dying. Permanent progress carries over through an account-wide Skill Tree bought with Soul Ashes, and gear carries random affixes that can be extracted and re-applied. The open world has been re-seeded with roughly 35,000 additional creatures. The realm launched in January 2026 in the Naxxramas era and has since opened Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel and Ruby Sanctum; a Prestige system followed in August 2026. Hardcore difficulty tiers offer higher rewards. A fresh realm is planned for a later date.
