Next year is shaping up to be a huge year for World of Warcraft fans. In a blog post, Blizzard released the 2024 roadmap for both retail World of Warcraft leading into The War Within expansion as well as the release plans for all things World of Warcraft Classic including Season of Discovery updates and Cataclysm Classic.

Seeds of Renewal update, Dark Heart, and The War Within

Early in the new year, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will advance to update 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal. The update will conclude the Dragon Isles storyline, task players with reclaiming Gilneas, unlock Dragonriding Worldwide and introduce Follower Dungeons. The Azerothian Archives will also be introduced as well as the Outland Cup.


From here it gets interesting. The next update, 10.2.6, has not been revealed. However, according to the roadmap, it will come shortly after 10.2.5. All we have to theory craft the update is a banner flag with a black background and white skull and crossbones. Could it be pirate-themed of some sort?


Around this time The War Within Alpha will also begin, leading up to its pre-patch and release which is scheduled for the Summer of 2024.

Season of Discovery progresses and the release of Cataclysm Classic

Pretty soon the Season of Discovery level cap will increase to Level 40 bringing with it new runes, a new PvP event, and the Gnomeregan raid. Not long after World of Warcraft Classic: Hardcore will get its Self-Found mode update which allows players to create a Hardcore character with the added ruleset of not being able to trade with other players.


Sometime in the Spring Season of Discovery will progress forward again, increasing the level cap to Level 50 and unlocking even more runes and another new raid. Not long after World of Warcraft Classic will get the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch followed by its full release in late Spring or early Summer.


The year for WoW Classic will end with Season of Discovery reaching its max level cap of 60 and new end-game activities being added. Cataclysm Classic will also see both the Rise of the Zandalari and Rage of the Firelands updates to round out the year.


It seems like 2024 will always have something new going on in World of Warcraft, or at least re-new in the case of World of Warcraft Classic.
