Nine new places to explore

Blizzard has announced nine new dungeons for Forever, bringing previously discussed locations across the original world into playable group content.

Early beta dungeons

Blizzard's 20 October 2026 dungeon overview now confirms all nine new five-player dungeons and their level ranges, from Hall of Thanes (13–18) to Shaper's Terrace (58–60). The beta ended 21 October; this guide now tracks the announced launch progression rather than the early beta rotation.

Nine new dungeons

Recommended ranges: Hall of Thanes 13–18 (Ironforge); Ruins of Lordaeron 15–20 (Tirisfal Glades); Excavation Site 24–29 (Wetlands); City of Dalaran 28–33 (Alterac Mountains); Drowned City 35–40 (Stranglethorn coast); Krol'dok Stronghold 40–45 (Riverglades); Alcaz Prison 48–53 (Dustwallow Marsh); Blackmaw Hold 55–60 (Azshara); Shaper's Terrace 58–60 (Un'Goro Crater).

Guide rollout

Encounter mechanics, quests and loot guidance will be added as each dungeon is verified through beta and live data.

Dungeons provide 3 launch Legacy Points.

Legacy awards one point for defeating every final dungeon boss in each of three level brackets: 15–25, 26–45 and 46–60. These challenges make normal dungeon progression part of your wider account Legacy progression.

Nine new dungeons confirmed

All nine new five-player dungeons now have official level brackets: Hall of Thanes 13–18, Ruins of Lordaeron 15–20, Excavation Site 24–29, City of Dalaran 28–33, Drowned City 35–40, Krol'dok Stronghold 40–45, Alcaz Prison 48–53, Blackmaw Hold 55–60, and Shaper's Terrace 58–60. The bracket is guidance for progression, not a verified speedrun ranking.Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Whelgar's Excavation, City of Dalaran, Blackmaw Hold, the Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison and Shaper's Terrace.

The announced themes include helping the Forsaken reclaim Lordaeron, investigating magical trouble in Dalaran, uncovering titan mysteries around Un'Goro, confronting naga and pirates around the Drowned City, and exploring corruption in Blackmaw Hold. We are not adding boss-by-boss tactics until Blizzard has published or exposed enough reliable encounter information to support them.

Legacy link: dungeon Legacy Challenges are split into level 15–25, 26–45 and 46–60 bands, each requiring the final boss of every dungeon in that band.

Rechecked 22 October 2026 against Blizzard's 20 October dungeon overview. All nine new five-player dungeons now have official locations and level ranges. Individual boss tactics and verified loot tables remain to be added after launch.
