With Patch 10.2 launching in a couple of days and Season 3 right after, many players are already thinking about what comes after it. Is the Emerald Dream the end of Dragonflight? When will the next content patch come out? When is the next expansion?
This subject is gaining traction with the WoW community for two distinct reasons.
The first piece of evidence was datamined a couple of weeks ago, which is a cosmetic reward from defeating the final raid boss on heroic mode. Whereas in the past this reward took shape as a mount, this time around it seems that it will be a Dragonriding manuscript, Renewed Proto-Drake: Embodiment of Shadowflame. This item is a reward from a questline that is received the first time you defeat Fyrakk on Heroic or Mythic difficulty.
While not confirmed by Blizzard, it is likely that this manuscript won't be obtainable once the next expansion launches.
The second piece that cemented the theory is the addition of the permanent augment rune from the Patch 10.2 reputation. Once you reach Renown 18 with the new Dream Wardens faction, you are able to purchase Dreambound Augment Rune for the hefty sum of .
Ever since the first version of augment runes in Warlords of Draenor, the final tier of each expansion features a non-consumable version of the rune.
With those two elements, it is clear how one can assume Patch 10.2 and Season 3 will be the final raids of Dragonflight, but… does that mean the end of the expansion?
Early in our datamining coverage of Patch 10.2, we found an extra Gladiator mount model. Every Tier or Season in Dragonflight so far has been themed around one of the major flights, Red, Black, and now Green with Season 3. This extra gladiator mount, however, is clearly themed after the Blue Dragonflight. This might be yet another unused mount asset… or, it could be a slip-up and be the Season 4 Gladiator mount.
In interviews and commentary about Shadowlands, Blizzard mentioned many times that Shadowlands' Fated Season 4 was well accepted and represented a good bridge to have more content to the game while the developers worked on the next expansion. This likely means that the Fated experiment might happen again for Dragonflight, meaning we might have a Season 4 in Dragonflight using Dragonflight's past raids.
Knowing all of that where does this leave us? With the information we have about Dragonflight seasons and Shadowlands Season 4, this likely means we will have the following release schedule:

Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Gloria Victis waves goodbye, The Day Before returns to Steam, and Book of Travels (image above) celebrates two years in Early Access. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
As Steam players prepare to get to grips with the open-world zombie survival MMO The Day Before, console fans are left waiting indefinitely.
Physics-based games are catnip to influencers.
Fntastic, the developers behind The Day Before, has announced via a statement on Twitter that the game has received yet another delay and will now release next month on December 7. Although this does suggest that the game everyone has anticipated to simply not exist may finally see the light of day, there’s still a slight hesitance from players.
MyTona and Fntastic’s The Day Before has attracted its fair share of controversy thanks to its numerous delays and what many have deemed to be unrealistic promises by the developer, but it seems like the open world survival title is finally read to launch- with some caveats.
The highly anticipated and controversial post-apocalyptic open world MMO The Day Before has been delayed again to December 7, 2023, but will only launch in Early Access on Steam with no word on a console release date.
