Published scope
The announced shape of the journey
These counts describe what Blizzard names in the checked panel recaps. They are useful waypoints, not a promise that every quest, encounter, item, or rollout rule is documented here.
Regions
The panel names four regions in the level 1–60 scope; it does not publish a complete quest split for them.
Quests
Blizzard says more than 1,000 new quests are woven throughout the level 1–60 journey. The regional split is not fully published.
Dungeons & Raids
Nine dungeon ranges and two raid destinations with explicit gaps around encounters, loot, and timing.
Systems
Progression, crafting, rulesets, visuals, itemization, and PvP as described in the recaps.
Official roadmap
Blizzard's 2026–2027 view
This is Blizzard's published roadmap snapshot, not a Realm First forecast. Blizzard marks roadmap timing and content as subject to change.
World
Four regions named so far
Two areas are described as new and two as reimagined. The source establishes the regions, but not a full level-by-level or faction-by-faction route through them.
Zephras Isle
A level 1–12 Skyborne starting experience on an island anchored in Skywall, now failing after its elemental benefactors vanished.
Riverglades
A mid-level frontier roughly the size of Stranglethorn Vale, with nearly 200 Horde and Alliance quests and a sea route to Powderfuse Port.
Mount Hyjal
A recovering land after the Battle for Mount Hyjal, with Darkwhisper Gorge, emerging factions and the 20-player Hyjal Summit raid.
Shen'dralas
A newly opened area south of Desolace through the Valley of Bones, tied to Eldre’Thalas, the Shen’dralar and forgotten history.
