WoW Dragonflight Season 2 Release Date
There's no official release for WoW Dragonflight Season 2.
However, looking at the 2023 WoW Dragonflight content roadmap that Blizzard unveiled in late December of 2022, players can expect Dragonflight Season 2 to drop around the early summer months around the months of May or early June.
Additionally, WoW Dragonflight Season 2 would likely fill in the trend that the developers have been creating of releasing a new content update every three months.

New Raid - Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
Placed deep within Zaralek Cavern—patch 10.1's new zone—players will get to enter the expansion's first new raid, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. It's in this place that Neltharion created the Dracthyr before ultimately succumbing to the Old Gods, turning into Deathwing.
Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible holds a total of nine bosses, amongst these is Scalecommander Sarkareth, whose forces seek to claim the legacy of the dracthyr. Scalecommander Sarkareth will be the final boss of Aberrus.
Like the Vault of the Incarnates raid before it, players can expect Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible to release with its Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties simultaneously once Dragonflight Season 2 launches.

New Mythic+ Dungeon Rotation For Season 2
A new set of Mythic+ dungeons will be introduced as a part of WoW Dragonflight Season 2.
Players will get to experience the remaining four dungeons in the Dragonflight expansion, namely Halls of Infusion, Brackenhide Hollow, Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, and Neltharus.
Apart from those four dungeons, players will once again take on four dungeons from past expansions. Dragonflight Season 1 brought back dungeons from the Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, and Legion expansions, for Dragonflight Season 2 that will be different.
In the new season, players will take on dungeons from the Legion and Battle for Azeroth and expansions. In addition, to those dungeons, for the first time in the game's history, a dungeon from the Cataclysm expansion will be available in the dungeon pool.
Here is the list of eight dungeons:
- Halls of Infusion (Dragonflight)
- Brackenhide Hollow (Dragonflight)
- Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr (Dragonflight)
- Neltharus (Dragonflight)
- Neltharion's Lair (Legion)
- Freehold (Battle for Azeroth)
- Underrot (Battle for Azeroth)
- Vortex Pinnacle (Cataclysm)

WoW Dragonflight Season 2 Tier Sets
With any new World of Warcraft season comes brand-new tier sets.
During Dragonflight Season 1 tier sets were relatively low impact, focusing on buffing classes' abilities, and the like. For WoW Dragonflight Season 2, however, tier sets will be more meaningful, impacting resources, cooldowns, and talents.
Some of the bonuses are enhanced by playing certain talents and some build on popular talents in the middle sections of trees.
