World Of Warcraft has shared a roadmap for 2024, including a launch window for the War Within update and details about WOW Classic expansion Cataclysm.
According to executive producer Holly Longdale, World Of Warcraft’s next big expansion War Within is set to launch late summer/early autumn 2024.
Before that, three more content updates are due for Dragonflight. “In these updates, we’ll be wrapping up the story for this expansion and laying the foundation for our next one. Dragonflight season four will revisit Dragonflight’s dungeons and raids, along with outdoor content, featuring updated rewards, and a few new twists,” said Longdale. The roadmap also promises holiday events, Harbinger quests and a new PVP season as part of Dragonflight season four.
Following that, alpha and beta tests will be made available for the War Within. According to the roadmap, the expansion will bring a new campaign, four new zones, eight new dungeons and a new raid. Following the launch of War Within, World Of Warcraft will also host a 20th anniversary event.
