The War Within's narrative continues beyond the Siren Isle update, with Season 2 anticipated in late 2025. However, Patch 11.0.7 introduces new quests leading into Patch 11.1, focusing on the Goblin capital, Undermine, and the aftermath of Dalaran's destruction.
Updated January 7, 2025: The recently added campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran's fate, explored in the Dalaran Epilogue questline, concludes a long-running storyline, providing closure to a pivotal location in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
