World Of Warcraft Release Dates For New Zone, Cross-Faction Guilds, And New Raid

Next month will be a busy one for World of Warcraft players as the first major content update to the MMORPG's Dragonflight expansion begins rolling out. A new zone is coming along with cross-faction guilds, new open-world content, a new raid, and more.

On May 2nd players will begin venturing into the new zone of Zaralek Caverns. There players will meet new allies to grind rep with the molefolk known as the Niffen. Along with this patch release comes cross-faction guilds and open-world fights known as Fyrrak Assaults.

May 9th marks the arrival of Dragonflight Season 2, bringing with it the ability to breach Neltharion's secret laboratory, Aberrus, in Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties. The new season also brings a new PvP ladder and gear. New dungeons in the Mythic+ rotation will be Brackhide Hollow, Halls of Infusion, Uldaman, Legacy of Tyr, Neltharus, Freehold, Underrot, Vortex Pinnacle, and Neltharion's Lair.

April 2-8 is the also the return of The Darkmoon Faire. April 4th brings Mists of Pandaria Timewalking, Arena Skirmish bonus event, PvP Brawl Shado-Pan Showdown, and WoW Spring Deals. April 5th is the "March of the Tadpoles" Micro-Holiday.

That's a ton of things coming to World of Warcraft over the next month.

Note: Activision Blizzard has had charges filed against them by the state of California for serious harassment allegations. CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about such actions within his company and in many employees' eyes failed to take adequate action. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.
