Blizzard just released a detailed roadmap for World of Warcraft in 2025! Here’s a deep dive into everything coming up in Azeroth, from new zones and raids to the anticipated Midnight expansion reveal.
World of Warcraft Modern Roadmap for 2025
Patch 11.0.7
In late 2024, Patch 11.0.7 will bring new adventures to Siren Isle, introducing the upgradeable Cyrce’s Circlet ring, the Turbulent Timeways, the Plunderstorm event, and festive updates for Winter Veil.
Patch 11.1 Undermine(d)
Expected before spring 2025, Patch 11.1 unveils Undermine, the goblin empire. This patch will feature:
- A brand new raid: Liberation of Undermine
- A fresh dungeon: Operation: Floodgate
- Two new delves
- New Cartel Renown
- A (potentially) dynamic ground mount that zooms 440 yards in one second used in the Undermine.
- PvP and Mythic Season 2 start
Two Minor Patches: Patch 11.1.5 and Patch 1.1.7
Two minor patches are slated for Spring 2025 – Patch 11.1.5 and Patch 11.1.7!
- Patch 11.1.5: Debuts a new feature, Nightfall, and reintroduces Horrific Visions from Battle for Azeroth.
- Patch 11.1.7: Will feature a return of Turbulent Timeways and serve as a prologue to the major Patch 11.2 update.
Patch 11.2
While Patch 11.2 doesn’t specify a new zone, many believe it will take us to the Rootlands. This patch will include:
- New world events, a dungeon, and a raid
- Warband system updates
- Fresh Brewfest activities and more.
Midnight Expansion Reveal
The most exciting part of the roadmap is probably the Midnight expansion reveal coming between Summer/Autumn of 2025, likely in October or November. We expect Alpha to begin a few weeks after the announcement.
The biggest highlight is the Midnight expansion, set to be revealed between Summer and Autumn 2025, likely around October or November. Alpha testing is expected a few weeks after the announcement.
Final Patches for 2025: 11.2.5 and 11.2.7
- Patch 11.2.5: Marks the game’s 21st anniversary with special events.
- Patch 11.2.7: Bridges the story to the Midnight expansion, probably including Fated Raids to cap off 2025.
Mysterious Rune Icon
A mysterious rune icon between Patch 11.2.7 and Winter 2025 hints at a potential Remix event, possibly to keep players engaged before the expansion’s release.
