The next patch of World of Warcraft is coming much earlier than expected. Already at the beginning of May, it will be heading to Aberrus, in the new raid.
The current patch 10.0.7 has only been live for a few weeks, but this year, Blizzard apparently knows no respite for the fans of World of Warcraft. The first “big” update of the expansion is coming and has already received a release date. With the early release of patch 10.1 Glut of Neltharion, WoW is likely surpassing its own schedule and not allowing the risk of content drought to arise.
When is patch 10.1 released? The official release date of patch 10.1 is May 3, 2023 – exactly one month from now. As usual, the patch will go live on the US realms a few hours earlier on May 2, due to the time difference and different maintenance work.
What’s included in the patch? With the patch, players will descend into the Zaralek Caverns. This is a new area located directly beneath the Dragon Isles and is accessible from several entry points. Here, the Incarnates plan their next steps, and above all, the fiery Fyrrak seeks new strength and allies to constrain the aspects and the heroes of Azeroth.
The second “big piece” is the new raid: Aberrus, the Shadow Crucible. In this raid, the secrets of Neltharion and the origins of the Dracthyr await to be explored. This of course comes with some challenging bosses and also some special loot that makes your fellow players weaker.
When does the raid start? Players will not have to wait long for the raid either, as Aberrus, the Shadow Crucible, will start just a week later, on May 10, 2023. Accordingly, the “World First” race will also begin then, as the mythic difficulty will open simultaneously with the normal and heroic!
What do you think of this early release date? Just right to avoid boredom? Or is it perhaps a bit too fast?
