WoW devs are taking inspiration from Shadowlands with Dragonflight’s final season

Something good that came out of this expansion.

Although there isn’t a person alive who doesn’t wince at the thought of Shadowlands, it brought one of the best ends to the expansion by introducing season four. Seeing the sheer success of the last season of Shadowlands, Blizzard Entertainment is looking to wrap up Dragonflight in a similar fashion.

In a group interview on March 20, World of Warcraft’s game director Ion Hazzikostas explained how season four was a great wrap-up to Shadowlands and that we might see Dragonflight end with a similar season where players do the grand tour of all expansion raids. Aside from that, it would be better to run three or four different raids at the end of the expansion as it would definitely spice up the end of the expansion.

While the grand tour of expansion raids might return, the WoW team isn’t so sure about the whole Fated structure and affixes. According to Ion, the affixes might not be necessary and he’d be happy to hear more feedback from the community on that.

Shadowlands season four was a new concept introduced in August 2022 that featured a new Mythic+ rotation consisting of old dungeons, Fated raids with affixes that would make the encounters more challenging, and appropriate loot that would still include upgrades even for high-end players. Although the season didn’t introduce anything new except rewards, the community still enjoyed it as they didn’t have to go through the same old content for half of the year.
