It\u2019s been a long time coming, but WoW <\/em>fans can finally rejoice: the Emerald Dream will be a full-fledged, playable zone in Dragonflight <\/em>Patch 10.2.<\/p>
The Emerald Dream has been a central point of WoW<\/em>\u2019s lore since the game\u2019s inception and has been consistently teased over the course of the last 19 years. Whether it was through allusions to the Dream in Classic WoW <\/em>via Night Elf lore, background info dumps on it during Cataclysm<\/em>, or revelations regarding its status in Legion<\/em>, the Emerald Dream has always been a dimension that Blizzard has teased WoW <\/em>players with. <\/p>
Now, we\u2019re finally getting the chance to explore it head-on.<\/p>
The Emerald Dream is an alternate version of Azeroth created by Ysera and the Green Dragonflight<\/a> to represent what Azeroth would look like without any interference from the mortal races. <\/p>
In the early 2010s, the Emerald Dream was consistently thrown into the mix when it came to theories and projections for a possible new expansion. Before (and during) the release of Cataclysm<\/em>, it felt as though WoW<\/em>\u2019s overarching story could take a natural turn into the Emerald Dream. But instead, players were greeted with a sharp change of pace toward Pandaria<\/a>. Still, the door for an expansion in one of WoW<\/em>\u2019s most iconic locales is always open, especially with the vastness of the Emerald Dreamscape in mind.<\/p>
