A day after World of Warcraft gave players a glimpse of its 2025 plans, Blizzard updated its roadmap for the upcoming year and clarified that a new zone would appear in a future patch. The planned World of Warcraft zone’s name was not revealed at the time of writing, but Blizzard stated it would arrive in Patch 11.2 during the summer.
On November 13, Blizzard hosted the Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct broadcast, which revealed several updates and releases for players to enjoy. Regarding World of Warcraft announcements, game director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that the next content update for The War Within, Siren Isle, would go live on December 17. Hazzikostas also pulled back the curtain on an early 2025 update that would take World of Warcraft players to the Goblin metropolis known as The Undermine. Blizzard closed the broadcast by surprising fans with the reveal that player housing would be added in World of Warcraft: Midnight, the second expansion of the ongoing Worldsoul Saga.

The next content update for World of Warcraft brings tons of exciting features to the MMO, including some new items certain Rogue players may want.
While the 2025 roadmap for World of Warcraft is already loaded with content, Blizzard chose to make an addendum. According to Wowhead, World of Warcraft‘s 2025 roadmap now includes confirmation that a new zone will be added in Patch 11.2 in the summer of 2025. The 11.2 update will also include a new dungeon and raid as part of The War Within season three, which should launch before the full reveal of the Midnight expansion. However, Blizzard did not reveal further details about Patch 11.2’s planned zone, so World of Warcraft players must wait for more information in the months ahead. The 2025 roadmap for The War Within stated that Plunderstorm, Horrific Visions, and Turbulent Timeways will return at different intervals. It remains to be seen what changes Blizzard makes to each returning feature.
World of Warcraft Shares Updated 2025 Roadmap
- World of Warcraft updated its 2025 roadmap to include a new zone in Patch 11.2.
- Patch 11.2 is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2025, before the full reveal of the Midnight expansion.
- The 11.2 update will also offer new dungeon and raid content, and launch The War Within‘s third season.
- The zone’s name was not revealed, so players must wait for more information.
Although Patch 11.2 is listed on the summer part of the roadmap, World of Warcraft players looking to delve into some nostalgia will have a chance. Blizzard said that Mists of Pandaria Classic will launch in the summer in World of Warcraft Classic. Mists of Pandaria Classic will introduce the Monk class, unlock the Pandaren as a playable race for both the Alliance and the Horde factions, and bring players to the shores of the southern continent of Pandaria. Post-launch features from the original Mists of Pandaria expansion, such as the Isle of Thunder, will be released in updates throughout 2025 and beyond.
Between The Undermine of Patch 11.1 and the mysterious Patch 11.2 zone, The War Within will have up to six zones for players to explore. Only time will tell where Blizzard will take players in World of Warcraft‘s 11.2 update.
