World of Warcraft's Season of Discovery Explained
World of Warcraft Classic is getting a face lift for its next season, and with it will be a lot of new content for players to look forward to.
However, World of Warcraft is already teasing what is coming next in the Season of Discovery. It recently shared a WoWCast video featuring an interview with Nora Valetta and Joshua "Aggrend" Greenfield, WoW Classic's lead software engineer and senior game producer respectively, by community manager Bethany Stout about Season of Discovery. While the short video touched on what to expect in the current realms, the developers also revealed several things about what is coming next–including the fact that the new raid found in the next level band would be Gnomeregan.
What’s Next For World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery?
- Gnomeregan is the next 10-man raid in the Season of Discovery.
- The raid will be at the end of the second level band, which will raise the cap from 25 to 40.
- Horde players can unlock a portal from Stranglethorn Vale to Gnomeregan.
- A new open world PvP event will open in Stranglethorn Vale, similar to the one in Ashenvale in the first part of the Season of Discovery.
- New runes are coming for every class.
- A two-handed weapon Rune is coming for Shamans in World of Warcraft.
- New gear and item sets may be added in the future.
- Once the Season of Discovery ends, players will be able to preserve their characters in some way.
There is no concrete timeline for when this next part of World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery will arrive, but looking at the Season of Mastery may give players a clue. WoW Classic Season of Mastery lasted for a year, with updates coming periodically every couple of months.
However, Season of Discovery is making a lot more changes than the previous season, so it could last longer. Either way, fans should expect to hear more soon, with the level increase and the Gnomeregan raid likely coming within a few months or so.
