World Of Warcraft: Legion Dungeons And Raids Release Dates Announced

Blizzard previously announced that not every part of World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Legion, would be available on its release date, August 30th. Instead, some difficulty levels and dungeons would be released after the expansion had been live for sometime. Today, Blizzard unveiled the release schedule for said difficulty levels and dungeons.

The schedule is as follows.

• Tuesday, August 30–When Legion is live, dungeons will immediately be available on Normal and Heroic difficulties. Mythic dungeon difficulty will be available after the weekly dungeon reset time.
• Tuesday, September 20–The Emerald Nightmare Raid dungeon opens on Normal and Heroic difficulties. Mythic Keystones will begin dropping which will allow increased challenge and rewards from Mythic dungeons.
• Tuesday, September 27–Mythic difficulty for the Emerald Nightmare Raid dungeon opens. The first wing of Raid Finder difficulty for Emerald Nightmare opens.
• Tuesday, October 11–Raid Finder Wing 2 of Emerald Nightmare opens.
• Tuesday, October 25–Raid Finder Wing 3 of Emerald Nightmare opens.

Matt's Take:

While the reasons are uncertain, it's not surprising that Blizzard would want to stagger the release of Legion's high-end content. The real concern I have is that, with two months after Legion's release planned out, will there be one of World of Warcraft's infamous content droughts awaiting players at the end of the road?
