World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s Season 3 is bound to be the next major step for the MMORPG’s latest expansion, making its start and end dates important points of discussion for every player looking to explore Azeroth.
WoW: Dragonflight’s Season 3 comes as Blizzard seems to have nailed down a process that has so far delivered a steady content cadence. When it goes live, new challenges await raiders, Mythic+ enthusiasts, and PvP-focused members of the Horde and Alliance.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Season 3 Release Date
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s Season 3 has locked down its start date to November 14, 2023, one week after patch 10.2 hits live servers.
In early April 2024, Blizzard confirmed that its end date would occur on April 22, 2024.
- World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Season 3 start date: November 14, 2023
- World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Season 3 end date: April 22, 2024
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Season 3 Content
WoW: Dragonflight Season 3’s content follows a similar structure to that of past seasons. The new Amirdrassil, The Dream’s Hope raid will be introduced, pitting us against nine bosses.
At its climax, we get to face Fyrakk, but another notable addition is that of the first Dragonriding encounter.
The Mythic+ dungeon pool will be refreshed, focusing on both Dragonflight dungeons and a new selection of dungeons from older expansions. Here is the full list, as shared by Blizzard:
- Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond's Fall
- Dawn of the Infinite: Murozond's Rise
- Waycrest Manor (Battle for Azeroth)
- Atal'Dazar (Battle for Azeroth)
- Darkheart Thicket (Legion)
- Black Rook Hold (Legion)
- The Everbloom (Warlords of Draenor)
- Throne of the Tides (Cataclysm)
In terms of seasonal rewards we can earn two new titles – “the Dreaming” and “the Dreaming Hero” –, dungeon teleports, alongside the Verdant Armoredon coloration of the Mythic+ mount.
A new PvP season is also expected to go live with a new set of cosmetic rewards, mounts, and achievements.
Arena enthusiasts can secure a new title – “Verdant Gladiator” – while Rated Solo Shuffle offers the “Verdant Legend” title.
A new weapon illusion, tabard, cloak, pennant, weapon appearances, alongside the Verdant Gladiator’s Slitherdrake dragonriding appearance, and new Vicious mounts – Moonbeasts for each faction – are also part of the PvP rewards earnable during WoW: Dragonflight’s Season 3.
The developer is also experimenting on the PTR with Battleground Blitz, an 8v8 solo mode it describes as its “first foray into what could potentially become solo queue rated battlegrounds in the future.”
As per the PTR notes, you can queue either solo or as a duo, if one player is a healer.
Existing PvP mechanics will be tweaked to facilitate quicker 10-12 minute matches. To this extent, the cast time to capture objectives will be reduced, while control points will be captured twice as quickly after being contested.
A buff also grants a large increase to mounted movement speed, while several maps are getting new power up runes. These specific details are subject to change leading up to launch, but still provide a good amount of insight on what Blizzard currently has planned for the mode.
In late November, a series of hotfixes introduced adjustments to several dungeons that are part of the Mythic+ rotation.
Murozond’s Rise and Throne of the Tides should now be less difficult while Atal’Dazar will provide more challenge.
As spotted by Wowhead, two mechanics that could be cheesed have also been adjusted to remove these skips.
The Naz’jar Sentinel’s Crushing Depths can no longer be line-of-sighted to trigger a recast, while preventing all damage from the Melded Berserker’s Bounding Whirl during Everbloom should also no longer be possible.
That is what you need to know about WoW: Dragonflight’s Season 3 release date and the content you can expect from it. For more on the expansion, have a look at its 2023 roadmap.
