By Cameron Koch on

World of Warcraft's first update of 2024 is just around the corner, and although it's technically labeled as a «minor» patch, it will add some game-changing new features to Blizzard's MMORPG.

Blizzard has announced WoW's next update, Seeds of Renewal, will arrive on January 16. Update 10.2.5 will bring Dragonflight's excellent dragonriding flight system to all of Azeroth, something players have requested ever since they first got their hands on the new type of in-game flight during Dragonflight's Alpha test. It will also allow players to run normal difficulty dungeons with NPC followers, letting newer players, or players new to particular classes or roles like healing or tanking, a way to brush up on their skills before jumping into groups with real players.
