Many player speculate about the release of the next Expansion – The War Within, and what content they can expect until then. We have summarized our speculation of Dragonflight Season 4 and all the associated Patches.
We are going to summarize some of the information given by Blizzard, and also take some of the historical evidence to back-up these claims.
AWC and MDI Events are announced, with AWC already having some announcements for Season 4. This could already indicate an imminent release. MDI plays within the Season 3 Dungeons, while AWC does not differ much in Season 4. Per usual, MDI ends 1 month before the release of a new Season (see MDI in April 2023, Patch 10.1 in May). The next MDI Event ends on March 10th.
Blizzard has promised a consistent content release of 2 months until the release of The War Within. This was announced during BlizzCon 2023.
Dragonflight Season 4 is not tied to a Patch, according to the Roadmap 2024. The only Patches for Dragonflight will be 10.2.6 and 10.2.7.
A regular Season lasts 20 Weeks. This is consistent with previous Seasons before Shadowlands (it was 24 Weeks, but still two rotations of Affixes). Dragonflight offered less Affixes in Mythic Dungeons, and they kept that timeframe for Dragonflight Season 1.
According to the Roadmap, Patch 10.2.6 releases on the verge of Winter and Spring. 10.2.7 towards the end of Spring, the War Within Pre-Patch in Early Summer, and The War Within itself close to Fall 2024, but just barely in Fall (according to the Roadmap).
Dragonflight Season 4 is not tied to a Patch, and is just in between the Patches 10.2.6 and 10.2.7.
The Prepatch for Dragonflight lasted around 4 weeks until the official release.
And to finish the informations – Seasons, the one in Real Life! Spring starts on March 21st, Summer starts on June 21st and Autumn on September 21st.
