World of Warcraftall but confirmed some massive plot points coming in the near future ofDragonflight. These huge story beats tease some exciting narrative twists right around the corner–several of which have been popular theories amongWorld of Warcraftfans.

However, at the 41-minute mark near the end, the developers teased some of the thingsWorld of Warcraftplayers could look forward to in the near future. The highly-anticipated story of Nozdormu and Murozond–thedoomed Bronze Aspect ofDragonflight–will be coming to bear soon, but with an unexpected twist: Chromie’s Infinite Dragonflight counterpart, Morchie, will appear for the first time and play a major role. The “Timey Wimey Badness” that ensues will also involve Galakrond, the ancient proto-dragon from theDawn of the Aspectsnovel.
Iridikron, the leader of the Primal Incarnates andone of theWoWcommunity’s new favorite characters, was also named as a major threat, and his ultimate plan will be revealed sometime soon. Hamilton hinted at a continuation of existing plots involving the Green Dragonflight, but also teased an encrypted storyline for “another dragonflight.” While this could be one of the main five groups, the cagey answer suggests she could be referring to a lesser flight, such as the Netherwing Dragonflight or the Storm Drakes.
ManyWorld of Warcraftfans have theorized what the ending ofDragonflightmight look like. A datamined cutscene seemed to indicateDragonflightPatch 10.2 would involve the Green Dragonflight, and hints that Nozdormu would have to face his dark destiny have been all over the expansion. Players have also speculated Galakrond’s return as a major threat as well. Some popular theories have Iridikron using the Infinite Dragonflight to go back in time and use Galakrond’s power to stop the Aspects from ever being created.
Luckily,World of Warcraftplayers won’t have to wait long to find out what happens next. Blizzard has committed to an ambitious release schedule forWoWin 2023. Patch 10.1,Embers of Neltharion, is out mere days after press time, and builds for Patch 10.1.5 are already appearing on the Public Test Realm. It will be only a matter of weeks until players start discovering the first story snippets to share with their peers.
