The Drowned City — announced levels 35–40.[1] Blizzard’s preview connects this destination with naga and pirates.[2]
Launch fixes and historical availability
Blizzard's November 6 hotfixes report correcting the instance portal and unwanted creature disengages.[3]
No beta opening of this later-level dungeon was established by the written sources reviewed on 9 October 2026. See Beta guide for the documented test scope. The announced level band is not a confirmed minimum entry requirement.
Setting and access
Wowhead places the troll ruins offshore from Stranglethorn.[4] An offshore setting does not by itself establish an underwater route, swimming requirement, entrance coordinates or transport method. Those details await a Forever-specific source.
Beta client evidence
No named instance-map row for this dungeon was found in the reviewed Map export.[5] This limited result does not establish why data is absent, whether it is encrypted, or when the dungeon will open.
Legacy connection
The client places this dungeon under Experienced Spelunker in the Legacy completion criteria (row 230770).[6] Completion rewards and availability should be checked in the active build.
Preparation and open questions
Use Dungeon checklists for a preview research list. Before planning a run, check Game access and look for a dated entrance report. The announced level range is not a verified entry restriction.
Quest preparation: no dungeon quest pickup, required unlock chain or reward sequence has been verified here. Do not substitute a quest route from another WoW edition.
Boss checklist: a named, source-backed encounter roster is not established here. Keep boss identity, mechanics and mandatory completion separate when submitting evidence.
Rewards: add item IDs and a specific quest, boss or vendor observation before describing acquisition. An empty reward query below records a documentation gap.
Rewards
No item sources have been documented for this dungeon yet. This is a gap in the wiki, not a claim that the dungeon has no loot.
See Dungeon loot for the evidence needed to connect an item to its source; compare level bands in Dungeons.
Client check: 9 October 2026
A fresh name check of the archived 1.60.1.70245 Map export still did not identify a named instance row for this dungeon.[7] Absence from that named-row search is a limited data result, not a release-date or availability claim.
Help document this dungeon
Evidence still needed
Entrance and transport; Party capacity and access; Named encounters with mechanics; Dungeon quests and rewards
Record the Forever build, observation date, and a source or screenshot. Update the article and remove only the tasks your evidence resolves.
Sources and scope
The level band comes from Blizzard’s announcement. Client records are from the Forever beta build stated above; a record’s presence does not demonstrate live availability. No entrance, strategy, drop rate or quest chain is inferred from another WoW edition.
