The next update of World of Warcraft is finally on the starting blocks. Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara has reached the final stage on the PTR.
For many weeks, fans of World of Warcraft have been waiting for the Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara. In terms of content, it is likely to be one of the most extensive patches in the history of WoW.
With two new zones, a new raid, and a new mega-dungeon, along with a variety of new mechanics and dozens of mounts and collectible items, Patch 8.2 offers something for every player.
Yet one thing is still missing: a release date. The latest update on the PTR now brings relief, as the patch is nearly complete and is considered a “release candidate”.
What is a “release candidate”? When the developers of World of Warcraft believe that a patch on the PTR is complete, it gets the designation “Release” in its version number.
In that case, the features are complete and a patch is likely to go live in this form. Exceptions usually only occur if significant bugs and other issues are found that need to be addressed quickly.
When will Patch 8.2 actually be released? Blizzard has still not given a specific date. However, the fact that there is now a release candidate fuels the assumption that the patch could be released on June 26, 2019 – which would be in less than two weeks.
Blizzard had previously issued several warnings that the current PvP season would soon end, and with it, some rewards would disappear.
This warning traditionally appears about 2 weeks before the release of a new patch, so it would fit into the timeline.
As soon as Blizzard announces a specific date, we will of course report on it.
