Blizzard has posted this week’s WoW news, and while the biggest news is WotLK Classic’s Call of the Crusade update, there are some events for Dragonflight this week as well.

The second of the four Raid Finder wings for Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible opens tomorrow, bringing with it four more bosses: Assault of the Zaqali, Rashok the Elder, The Vigilant Stewart, and Zskarn. This week also brings a new PVP Brawl: Deep Six, as well as a Cataclysm Timewalking event.

The announcement of a new in-game event and promotion are scheduled for Thursday. There’s also a couple of reminders: the Guardian Pack and May Trading Post both expire on May 31st.
