Dragonflight has also got off to a successful start and has given the evergreen World of WarCraft another boost. Blizzard Entertainment has now announced how the current add-on will continue next year.
Blizzard Entertainment is already looking ahead to the future and has in a blog post At the end of the year, a roadmap for World of WarCraft: Dragonflight has now been published, which deals with the planned innovations and fresh content for 2023.
According to the will of the makers, six content updates are to be released over the course of the new year, which are to be distributed relatively evenly over the next twelve months. This also includes two major updates with new zones, raids, and seasonal rewards.
Between these two big patches there will be smaller ones with new world events, system updates, new dungeon experiences or new chapters in the story. These are intended to serve as epilogues or prologues.
The 10.0.5 content update was only recently announced, which is planned for the beginning of next year and thus marks the start of the year. With that comes the Trading Post system, allowing you to earn a wide variety of cosmetic rewards of your choice. It also brings the ability to obtain low-quality or common-quality items as transmogrification templates and some new content for the Primalist’s Dawn zone.
Shortly after the release of this update, the version 10.0.7 content update will also be deployed to the public test realm. This version brings a new quest campaign and repeatable world content to the Forbidden Island as the Dracthyr (accompanied by some unexpected guests) return to their place of captivity to learn more about their origins and fate. This should finally herald the next big chapter, because patch 10.1 is the first comprehensive update, which heralds the second season and brings a new zone, a new raid and more with it.
The content updates 10.1.5 and 10.1.7 are planned for the second half of the year, which should bridge the period between the major updates. For more information, see the roadmap above.
