New campaign, new quest lines, overloaded depths, and class changes. Patch 11.1.7 for World of Warcraft brings a lot of new features.
The next patch of World of Warcraft is just a few days away. While there won’t be any new raids or dungeons coming into play, there will be some new content, such as a new campaign around the orcs and humans, or many exciting stories about Lorewalker Cho and the history of Azeroth.
What’s in the new patch? Although the patch is actually just a rather small update, there are still a number of new content and improvements that will keep players busy for at least a few days or weeks. These include:
- The Rise of the Red Twilight: A quest campaign in the Arathi Highlands that revolves around a resurgent conflict between Horde and Alliance.
- Lorewalker Quests: Some of the most important WoW quest lines can be experienced with Lorewalker Cho. Including Arthas, the Astral beings, or the origins of Xal’atath.
- Overloaded Depths: Some depths are now overloaded – they have better rewards but are also harder. Also, you can upgrade a belt with special abilities.
- Single Key Assistant: Do you want to play WoW with just one key? You can! A new option will always select a sensible ability for you, but it comes with a drawback.
- Timewalking: Battle for Azeroth: The “Turbulent Timeways” event returns and now also includes the dungeons from Battle for Azeroth.
- Class Updates: All classes receive a new spell that allows them to regenerate health and mana.
When will the patch be released? Patch 11.1.7 will be released next Wednesday, June 18, 2025. As usual, the update will go live a few hours earlier in America, so on June 17.
For those interested in the full patch notes, you can find them on the next page with all the details. But beware: that’s a lot.
Even before the patch, WoW has significantly improved tanks – they now hold aggro much better!
