Shadowlands Season 4 Ends Soon and a Look at Post-Season

October 18th by Blizzard Entertainment

As we continue to move toward the launch of Dragonflight, the last season of Shadowlands is coming to an end. While some rewards are being retired, others will still be obtainable throughout the Dragonflight pre-expansion period until the Dragon Isles officially become available for play.


What is Going Away?

When Season 4 ends, the following rewards will no longer be available:

  • Mythic+ Dungeons
    • The “Shrouded Hero” title awarded by the “Shrouded Hero: Shadowlands Season 4” achievement. Titles will be awarded to eligible players after the Season ends.
  • Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds
    • The “Eternal Gladiator”, “Hero of the Horde: Eternal”,  and “Hero of the Alliance: Eternal” titles. Titles will be awarded based on rating cutoffs that you check on our PvP Leaderboards.
    • Rank achievements (such as Duelist: Shadowlands Season 4) and their respective titles.
    • Rank awarded Elite Transmogrification (transmog) appearances (Armor, Weapon Illusion, Cloak, Tabard).
    • Progress towards the Gladiator: Shadowlands Season 4 achievement (and associated mount reward).
Note: If you are eligible to receive one of the rewards listed above, we recommend you refrain from using any character services like Race Change, Faction Change, or Character Transfer until you receive your rewards, to avoid any issues.

For specific timing of the end of the season for your region, read this forum post.
