WotLK might be a bridge too far, though maybe, given they are already updating a whole ton of related assets.
Shrine of the Storm for the Old God connection seems likely, though might also come later when it's even more relevant. Some SL dungeons simply because it's been so long since we had them, though again, maybe later in TWW.
The Cata Dwarf dungeons sound like a good bet to me. Both Grim Batol and the other one in Blackrock Mountain whose name escapes me. Which in turn might mean the WoD version of Upper Blackrock Spire as well, even more so if that means Blizzard only wants to have a single portal to Blackrock Mountain.

i went looking from vanilla to shadowlands at all the dungeons and only a few outside of wrath really match the theme as well as the DF ones have for their respective seasons. agreed with the point that theyre super outdated, so im curious if theyll take a leap with wrath dungeons or settle for a more mild thematic fit

thats also a good point i didnt consider
if 11.1 turns out to be the undermine id be willing to bet that we're gonna see THE MOTHERLODE as a m+ dungeon
That does sound like a safe bet. Old God is a bit too vague compared to the Aqir connection. And they might want to hold back some of the more overtly Old God dungeons like Shrine of the Storm for Midnight.

WotLK dungeons might be a step too far in general unless the dungeon is already more modern in design. Throne of the Tides is already all but a new dungeon, and WotLK encounters would need even more changes to work.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
While true, we also have a Mantid raid in Timerunning, and the first raid in TWW will be the Nerubian raid, so I can absolutely see the need for a thematic link to M+ be more important than if it was used in Timerunning.
I want to say Brann was one of the NPCs, so probably Explorers league characters. Maybe holdovers from the Explorer faction in DF as well.

While I tend to agree that Wrath dungeons are just a little too outdated graphically to be likely M+ candidates, there are quite a few that I think wouldn't be any harder to update into good M+ mechanics wise than the cata stuff we've seen. Probably easier than throne of tides and its elevator/teleport shenanigans that got changed.
HoL has a pretty great layout and decent boss cadence for M+. Even tho its technically linear overall, lots of sections have options of which mobs to pull to get through the room.
Ahn'kahet is similar imo.
Pit of Saron I think would also be excellent as an M+. Was the best dungeon of wrath already imo and has great pacing for M+.
I'm with Sondrelk tho in that I think theyll do at least a couple revamps of dungeons from wrath in TLT and theyll hold off on M+ of any potential wrath dungeons till then. If they wanted to get crazy they could graphically update/full revamp most of them and have basically 3 seasons worth of M+ dungeons good to go from launch, let alone whatever new stuff they invent.
I hope they give us more dungeons during the course of the expansion so we don't end up with a season consisting mainly of old dungeons.
Well, "doing" them in remix will by far not be the same, considering how overpowerd we will be for remix. Seeing a M+ version would be vastly different. And the connection of the Mantid following the orders of the dark heart (of Y'Shaarj) is a great reflection of the nerubians following Xal'atath with her artifact the Dark Heart.
Ahnkahnet would actually go really well if they give it the Throne of Tides-treatment. It's already non-linear and obviously is a good thematic fit.

Nope, it's for everything.
Here's our resident bird showing them off.
Seems to just be cleaned up textures though. So not really a comprehensive graphical update like what would make old dungeons look significantly different.

It's possible for sure. Though I don't think they would significantly remake more than one dungeon at a time, and if we can only remake one then my money would more likely be on Grim Batol.

I mean, it is literally an HD Update. All the textures have the seem resolution as current retail, and honestly, I think it'll make a big difference.
I don't really see how Grim Batol is more likely than Ahnkahnet. Surely, it would have made more sense in Season 2 of DF or something like that.
