The patch 10.2 of World of Warcraft has been teased. It also concerns a new Legendary – and every class hopes it’s for them
The patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath is just live, but at Blizzard there seems to be no pause. Because the next adventure of World of Warcraft is already in planning. The next update is currently being deployed on the PTR and should be available in the next few hours, but Blizzard has already released a small teaser.
On X (formerly Twitter), Blizzard announced that they want to present the patch 10.2 named “Guardians of the Dream” today (09/07/2023) in more detail.
A few of the highlights of the new patch are:
- A new area – presumably the Emerald Dream
- A new raid – presumably the defense of the new World Tree
- A new Legendary
Legendary causes discussion: The last point is already causing a lot of discussion. The last Legendary was exclusive to the Callers and was not announced in advance. Instead, it was “secretly” hidden in the game data and was unlocked through the first mythical kill of Sarkareth.
The fact that the Legendary is being discussed in advance this time is a different approach.
In the forums, players are already actively discussing who the Legendary might be for.
Which class is likely? Even though Blizzard hasn’t commented yet, the most likely class for a Legendary seems to be the Druid. This is mainly because patch 10.2 revolves around the Emerald Dream and its defense – the perfect place for Druids to get a bit of additional story and a powerful artifact.
However, other classes would also be possible. A “Legendary for all,” such as the cloak in Mists of Pandaria or the ring in Warlords of Draenor, would also be conceivable.
Exact details about the new Legendary will be revealed tonight, as Blizzard plans to present the patch with significantly more details and specifics.
