The nine launch dungeons, raid timing, reported level ranges, and the source conflicts to keep visible.
STATUS / NAMES CONFIRMED
Nine new dungeons are named; their mechanics and level brackets are not.

ROSTER
The nine names to track
Names are the strongest confirmed dungeon data right now.
Ironforge and Lordaeron
Hall of Thanes is described as beneath Ironforge; Ruins of Lordaeron is currently a name-only entry.
Whelgar and Dalaran
An excavation site above Whelgar’s Excavation is called mysterious, while the City of Dalaran is called chaotic.
The remaining five
Blackmaw Hold, The Drowned City, Krol’dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison, and Shaper’s Terrace are named without full encounter details.
REPORTED
Level ranges and naming conflicts
These ranges are useful for route planning but should remain labeled reported.
Early to mid game
Secondary coverage lists Hall of Thanes at 13–18 and an Excavation Site at 24–29.
Mid to late game
The reported ranges include The Drowned City at 35–40, Krol’dok Stronghold at 40–55, and Alcaz Island Prison at 48–53.
Endgame range
Blackmaw Hold is listed at 55–60 and Shaper’s Terrace at 58–60. Ruins of Lordaeron and City of Dalaran have no reported brackets.
- The secondary list spells two entries as Excavation Site and Alcaz Island Prison; Blizzard’s named roster is the reference for final names.
- Group size, lockouts, difficulty modes, boss rosters, loot tables, and the four 2027 dungeon names remain unknown.
- The raid count also needs reconciliation: one ceremony recap says two, while a roadmap card lists three at the December unlock.
