In 2024, Dragonflight is set to receive three more content updates before the official release of The War Within. Like past expansions, The War Within will get a huge pre-patch that introduces major features from the expansion. Without further ado, here’s the full Dragonflight and The War Within patch roadmap for 2024.

Dragonflight in 2024 will have three updates. The first is Seeds of Renewal, the second is season four, and the final is Dark Heart. Below, you’ll find the full list of currently known features and the release window for each of the updates.

Dragonflight Patch 10.2.5 (Seeds of Renewal)

Patch 10.2.4 is set to release in early 2024 and spice up the Dragonflight expansion by introducing: 

  • The final chapters of the main campaign 
  • Reclamation of Gilneas
  • Worldwide Dragonridning
  • Follower dungeons
  • Azerothian Archives event
  • Outland Cup

Dragonflight season four

The final season of Dragonflight is season four. It releases on April 23 and gives you another opportunity to showcase all the knowledge you got from Dragonflight with these features:

  • Old Dragonflight raids as Fated content
  • New PvP season
  • New Mythic+ season
  • New open-world rewards

Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7 (Dark Heart)

Between the spring and summer of 2024, Blizzard is rolling out the last update of Dragonflight—Dark Heart. This is meant to ease you into The War Within and give you more content while you wait. The features in Patch 10.2.7 include:

Similar to Dragonflight in 2024, The War Within will have three updates. While the first update is scheduled to be The War Within pre-patch update, the second two patches are meant to introduce the expansion as a whole and add more intriguing content. Here are all The War Within updates coming in 2024. 

The War Within pre-patch (Patch 11.01)

After almost two full years of playing Dragonflight, the first The War Within update will arrive in summer 2024. This patch will introduce the core features of the expansion for you to explore and world events you can complete while you wait for the expansion. The patch adds the following:

  • World events
  • Warbands
  • Dynamic flight to all mounts (this is Dragonriding)
  • Guild updates

The War Within release patch

The much-anticipated The War Within will be released between summer and fall 2024. I’d say this means \ an August or early September release, but I can’t say for sure. Once the expansion rolls out, you can experience the following:

  • New campaign story
  • Delves
  • Hero talents
  • Earthen allied race
  • Four new zones
  • Eight new dungeons
  • New raid
  • New PvP season

The War Within Patch 11.0.5

Outside of the pre-patch and release, The War Within will have one more update in 2024—Patch 11.0.5 in fall 2024. This is meant to supplement The War Within. Unfortunately, Blizzard hasn’t shared many details about this update, and only two features are confirmed:

  • Additional stories and quests
  • New content and system updates
