WoW: Forever launches with nine new dungeons. Blizzard named them in the What’s Next panel and later corrected the level range for one of them, publishing the full bracket list.
For the quests inside them, the dungeon quest list records each start, turn-in and reward. The attunement this site has a report for is the Horde quest series for City of Dalaran; Wowhead’s beta report, read on 12 October 2026, is covered in the Horde attunement route.
The nine launch dungeons
| Dungeon | Level range |
|---|---|
| The Hall of Thanes | 13–18 |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | 15–20 |
| Excavation Site: Wetlands | 24–29 |
| City of Dalaran | 28–33 |
| The Drowned City | 35–40 |
| Krol’dok Stronghold | 40–45 |
| Alcaz Prison | 48–53 |
| Blackmaw Hold | 55–60 |
| Shaper’s Terrace | 58–60 |
The level ranges come from Blizzard’s clarification, which Wowhead reports because the Krol’dok Stronghold range was listed incorrectly in some BlizzCon material. The What’s Next panel itself names the dungeons but does not publish the brackets.
What the panel says about each
Blizzard describes the dungeons as bringing long-discussed places in the original world to life: the Hall of Thanes beneath 
Ironforge, the Ruins of Lordaeron reclaimed by the Forsaken, an excavation above Whelgar’s Excavation, the City of Dalaran, Blackmaw Hold, the Drowned City, Krol’dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison and the Shaper’s Terrace.
The Drowned City is tied to naga and pirates, Dalaran to magical trouble, Un’Goro’s Shaper’s Terrace to titan mysteries, and Blackmaw Hold to unsettling corruption.
Boss lists, loot tables and group-size requirements are not published. The brackets are a leveling aid, not a full dungeon guide.
