Icecrown Citadel is the latest dungeon for World of Warcraft and is set to be released with the 3.3 patch. Players will fight in the Lich King’s home base with other heroes including Highlord Tirion Fordring, High Overlord Saurfang, and Muradin Bronzebeard. Icecrown Citadel features 10 man and 25 man versions and each version has 12 encounters.

Another new feature being added to patch 3.3 is the ability for the player to switch between normal and Heroic mode on the fly. So you can now fight bosses you know you can beat on Heroic and then for one’s you struggle with you can fight on normal.

Icecrown Citadel consists of three parts: The Grand Entrance, The Wings of the Icecrown Citadel, and The Frozen Throne.

At the start of the dungeon players will face a legion of undead under the command of Lord Marrowgar, a monster fused together from the bones of the undead. The next boss is Lady Deathwhisper, Supreme Overseer of the Cult of the Damned. Once these two bosses are defeated the heroes of the Alliance and Horde end up outside the Citadel where their deep seeded hatred for each other begins the battle for the Rampart of Skulls. Depending on your faction you will fight for either High Overlord Saurfang on the Orgrim’s Hammer or Muradin Bronzebeard on The Skybreaker. Players will fight to destroy the other gunship while protecting their own to see who will continue the battle for Icecrown Citadel.

The Wings of the Icecrown Citadel are similar to Naxxaramas in that each wing has a series of bosses. Once all the wings are completed, players will then move on to the Frozen Throne. This is the battle players have waited for over a year now. The Lich King and his runeblade Frostmourne await those strong enough to reach him.

Along with the new dungeon players will be rewarded with new gear. Item levels start at 251 on normal and go up to 277 in the 25 man heroic version.

No release date has been given for Patch 3.3, but hopefully it will be sooner than later.
