With the 2024 roadmap for World of Warcraft and the oncoming wrap up of Dragonflight, we knew the final patch would likely fall toward the end of spring, and we now have confirmation: the final Dragonflight patch, patch 10.2.7, releases May 7, 2024.

One of the big features coming with World of Warcraft's next expansion The War Within is Warbands, a new layer of account organization that will make many aspects of character customization and progression account-wide.

World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion The War Within is adding a new feature called Warbands that helps to unify your characters' progress and allows them to easily share currency and items among them, so of course you'll want as many of your alts in your Warband as possible.

World of Warcraft's next expansion The War Within has started alpha and amongst the news and interviews was confirmation that Dracthyr will soon be able to choose classes besides Evoker.

World of Warcraft's next expansion The War Within has entered its alpha testing phase, and in doing so has revealed that a major -- some might say "beloved" -- Azeroth location has been destroyed at the start.

World of Warcraft's next expansion The War Within is beginning its alpha testing phase and to coincide with that Blizzard has made a new Collector's Edition available for prepurchase for $180.

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is coming with Dragonflight patch 10.2.7 and is looking like it's going to be a fun event to tide us over until The War Within prepatch.

2024 keeps chugging ahead and we're already more than a quarter of the year through.

I picked up the very chill game Spirit City: Lofi Sessions this week and I’ve been enjoying having it in the background while I play World of Warcraft and write articles for BlizzardWatch. It’s good to relax, especially since the rest of this month is giving us:

• New Hearthstone Battlegrounds season on April 16
• World of Warcraft Season 4 on April 23
• Cataclysm Classic pre-patch on April 30
• Patch 10.2.7 PTR Soon™
• The War Within Alpha Soon-ish Maybe?

And that doesn’t even include Tales of Kenzera: ZAU releasing on April 23 and Taylor Swift’s new album Tortured Poets Department arriving on April 19.

So while I try to figure out how to double the length of days so I have time for all of this, let’s answer some questions.

2024 is shaping up to be a solid year for the literature-inclined fans of Blizzard games, with World of Warcraft and Diablo 4 both getting new books.
