Phase 2 (Level 40):

New runes are mentioned as being added each phase but no specifics on what these runes would be. Likely they would provide some new spells/abilities.

Gnomeregan raid in Phase 2 will remake the original Gnomeregan dungeon as a raid instance, similar to how Blackfathom Deeps was reimagined in Phase 1.

The new PvP event mentioned for Phase 2 is expected to take place in Stranglethorn Vale but no other details are given on the type of event.

Phase 3 (Level 50):

Expected Release Date: Late April/Early May (2 and 1/2 Weeks Phase) or Beginning of May (3-MonthS Phase)

Content: Still new runes and new raids are going to be added but no exact name is mentioned, so specific 5-man or 10/20-man dungeons are unknown.

Phase 4 (Level 60):

Expected Release Date: Mid-July (2 and 1/2 Weeks Phase) or Beginning of August (3-MonthS Phase)

Content: Still new runes will be added, and endgame activities possibly including new raids and dungeons will be released to push the game to endgame!
