World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s list of dungeons will include an updated version of a classic dungeon from back in its pre-expansion days.
Dragonflight alpha testing has entered its second phase, giving players the chance to level through the DragonThird starting region and check out some of the new dungeons arriving as part of the game’s latest expansion. One of those “new” dungeons is Uldaman, or at least a new part of it.
Located in the Badlands of the Eastern Kingdom, Uldaman is probably familiar to Alliance players who played through WoW Classic or the original version of the game in 2004. This new level 60 wing of the Titan Keeper facility will be the former part of Dragonflight. -Patch While it will feature some familiar faces from the original version, such as The Lost Dwarves (inspired by an early Blizzard title, The Lost Vikings), it will also include some new ones. possible Spoilers ahead!
The final boss of the new Uldaman Wing is a dragon named Chrono-Lord Dios, a member of the timeline-hopping Infinite Dragonflight. Fans have speculated on who or what will be the “big-bad” of the Dragonflight expansion, with many theorizing that the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight, Murozond, could be the primary villain. It’s still too early to say for sure, but the fact that Chrono-Lord Dios is the final boss of the pre-patch dungeon definitely means that Infinite Dragonflight has a big role in the game’s upcoming story, which has largely been kept under wraps by Blizzard.
It’s currently unclear if Uldaman’s new wing will only be available for the Dragonflight pre-patch, which usually lasts a few weeks, or if it will be a permanent part of WoW’s dungeon roster. Blizzard has confirmed that the first Mythic+ season dungeon lineup for Dragonflight will include four dungeons from the new expansion and four from the old, but it remains to be seen if Uldaman will be included in that lineup.
Blizzard is taking a new approach to WoW alpha testing with Dragonflight, with more focused testing on smaller chunks of content at a faster pace than usual. Dragonflight is currently slated for release before the end of the year. An XP boost event will take place for the next two weeks to level up new characters for players who returned before Shadowlands Season 4 and Dragonflight.
