The upcoming plans for World of Warcraft have been revealed. The year 2025 is packed with new content. Here you can read about what to expect.
During the Warcraft Direct stream on November 13, 2024, Blizzard spoke in detail about the future of World of Warcraft. Not only was the Housing feature finally announced after 20 years, but the roadmap for 2025 was also presented. This shows what changes will take place in The War Within in the coming months.
All content of the WoW Roadmap 2025
What are the contents of the 2025 roadmap? In 2025, new content will continue to roll out rapidly:
- Still in winter, Patch 11.1 titled “Undermined” will be released – this will take players to the Goblin metropolis Undermine. It includes new depths, a new dungeon, and an 8-boss raid against Gallywix.
- In spring, 11.1.5 will be released, bringing the new content “Nightfall,” along with a revamp of the Horrific Visions from Battle for Azeroth.
- Also in spring, Patch 11.1.7 will come with new quests.
- In summer, the major Patch 11.2 will arrive. A new raid, new dungeon, new challenges in the open world, and world events await.
- The summer will then end with the official announcement of “Midnight.”
- In autumn 2025, the “Epilogue” of the story will follow, namely patches 11.2.5 and 11.2.7. These will likely lead directly into the next expansion.
Will there be a patch in 2024? Yes, because strictly speaking, the roadmap includes not only 2025 but also the end of the year 2024. In December – a week before Christmas – Patch 11.0.7 will be released, providing new content over the holidays.

The future of The War Within
Will the story of The War Within be completed? Whether the story of The War Within will conclude with Patch 11.2.7 is still not entirely clear – however, it looks that way.
What comes after The War Within? If Blizzard maintains the rhythm of “Dragonflight”, it would mean that we are likely to see another expansion in the “Remix” variant by the end of 2025, before the Midnight expansion (hopefully) arrives at the beginning of 2026. However, Blizzard has not yet made any concrete commitments, so currently, only a look into the crystal ball helps.
In any case, the year 2025 will be quite filled for fans of World of Warcraft. Players can expect a lot of content throughout the year and should be well taken care of – whether they like dungeons, depths, or raids. Perhaps there will even be a little time left, so that WoW finally becomes a bit more accessible to newcomers.
