World of Warcraftjust announced Patch 10.2, Guardians of the Dream, goes live November 7. The next big update forWorld of Warcraftdrops the first weekly reset after the conclusion of BlizzCon.
Guardians of the Dream is thesecond majorWorld of Warcraftpatch since the release ofDragonflight. This huge update finally brings the Emerald Dream to life with a full zone featuring new activities to enjoy, rewards to collect, and chapters of theDragonflightstory, which culminate in the Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope raid.
Now,World of Warcrafthas shared the official release date for Patch 10.2. Starting November 7, players will be able to delve into the Emerald Dream zone, gain reputation with the new Dream Wardens Renown faction, and experience the first chapters of the new story. One week later on November 14,DragonflightSeason 3 begins with the opening of the Amirdrassil raid, allowing players to collect anew Legendary weapon inWorld of Warcraft. This will also bring the start of a new Mythic+ dungeon rotation, and will lead into the conclusion of the Patch 10.2 story.
Many of the early chapters of the Patch 10.2 story are available on theWorld of WarcraftPublic Test Realm, but many of the juiciest story beats have remained encrypted. Players can expect some epic cinematics and major developments in the plot as they confront the Primal Incarnate Fyrakk within the new raid. If some datamined assets and abilities are any indication, however, Vyranoth may be joining asthe sixth Dragon Aspect ofWorld of Warcraftas they seek to restore their lost power.
Were that not exciting enough, BlizzCon is taking place the weekend before Guardians of the Dream drops. While most of Blizzard’s IPs have plenty to show off, president Mike Ybarra confirmed theWarcraftfranchise had the most to reveal at the convention. There’s a good chance players will learn about the nextWorld of Warcraftexpansion pack, as well as something big forWoW Classic.
It remains to be seen ifPatch 10.2 will be the last major patch forDragonflight. So far,World of Warcraftdevelopers have been dodgy on confirming or denying if it is, and fans have found items, achievements, and other elements of the game that suggestDragonflightmay followShadowlands’ example by only have two major patches. Regardless of whether a Patch 10.3 is on the way, players can be certainWorld of Warcraftstill has more content planned forDragonflightbeyond Guardians of the Dream.
