When is WoW 10.2 releasing?
Patch 10.2 is slated for release on November 7, 2023. Some of the content such as the new Raid and Legendary will be released later down the line on November 14, 2023. However, plenty of the content will be available on that first release date, such as the new zone, quests and faction rewards.
New Zone: The Emerald Dream

Not only is there a new zone, but there is a new faction for you to earn renown with. These are the Dream Wardens. By completing their renown track, you can get your hands on some fantastic rewards such as mounts and customisations.
- Here is what the WoW devs had to say about the Superbloom event
New Public Event: The Superbloom
Click to enlargeThere is a brand new public event for players to enjoy, where once again you’ll all band together to protect the Emerald Dream and help the likes of Sprucecrown protect the dream by using whimsical powers similar to those in Torghast. There will be bugs to shoo away, plants to tend to, and enemies to take down.
Not only is there the Superbloom but there are two secondary events that also occur within the Emerald Dream named the Emerald Bounty and the Emerald Frenzy. The Emerald Bounty is a series of micro-events that take place all across the new zone. They are split into the Emerald Frenzy and Planting Dreamseeds.
The Emerald Frenzy empowers a small area within the new zone where all of the wildlife will go into a frenzy. Enemies become more powerful, but you also get a higher amount of the Emerald Dewdrop currency. The higher the bloom quality from the Superbloom, the more currency that the enemies will drop.
Planting Dreamseeds allows players to find small patches of dirt scattered around the Emerald Dream and plant a Dreamseed. You can then all band together to look after this new plant, and encourage it to grow by contributing Emerald Dewdrops or more Dreamseeds. Those who took part in helping the plant grow will gain rewards after a couple of minutes of it completing its growth cycle.
Dragon riding Update

As soon as the patch is released, you’ll immediately be able to dragon ride through the Emerald Dream. There’s also a new dragonriding appearance if you want to customise your dragon to look like the Fyrakk proto-drake.
New Raid: Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope
Click to enlargeWith this latest patch comes a brand new Raid for you to take part in. There are four wings with nine bosses in total. If you want to take part in LFR, you will need an item level of 424, minimum. Along with this, there is also a new Legendary weapon. A two-handed axe, that can be used by Death Knights, Paladins and Warriors. This is called Fyr’lath, the Dream Render.
You will also have the ability to earn five-piece class sets as you complete the raid and get rewards for your efforts.

New PvP Brawl
For those who enjoy taking part in PvP activities, there will be a brand new brawl for you to compete in. This is an 8v8 solo experience. The team consists of:
- Two healers
- Five to six DPS
- Zero to one Tank
For matches that don’t include any tanks, these fights will not take place on Capture the Flag maps such as Warsong Gulch and Twin Peaks. Battles that do include a tank can take place on any map.
