The Patch 11.1.7 is coming soon, when will the next big patch come out in World of Warcraft: The War Within? The roadmap showcases an approximate time and content to be added. In this article, follow us to take an early look at WoW TWW 11.2 (Season 3) release date and details.

Updated (July 9, 2025)

World of Warcraft: The War Within Patch 11.2, titled Ghosts of K'aresh, will kick off on August 5, 2025, bringing exciting new content like a fresh dungeon and initial story chapters. However, the full launch of TWW Season 3, including Mythic+ dungeons at higher difficulties, the new Manaforge Omega raid, and the PvP season, officially begins the following week on August 12, 2025. This staggered release means you can start exploring some new content early, but the main Season 3 challenges and rewards will unlock with the patch on August 12.

WoW TWW 11.2 & Season 3 Release Date

Blizzard has revealed their 2025 roadmap that covers all patches and seasons throughout the year, also indicating major content included in each patch. The roadmap lists WoW TWW Patch 11.2 (Ghosts of K'aresh) in Summer 2025, which typically spans June 21 to September 22. Given that Patch 11.1.7 (Late Spring) is scheduled on June 17, 2025, a 7-8 week gap would place 11.2 in July or August. The WoW The War Within Patch 11.2 (Season 3) is most likely to start around late July to early August 2025, while the PTR will come out soon this week in June. 

TWW Patch 11.0.7 (Siren Isle) launched in December 2024, and Patch 11.1 (Undermine) followed in February 2025. The 11.1.7 was released on June 17, considering that Patch 11.2.5 is planned to be revealed in early autumn, and 11.2 would start between them with a reasonable interval, then August 12 is the estimated release date. In addition, the WoW Midnight expansion is set for a late summer 2025 reveal, meaning 11.2 must launch before then.

WoW The War Within Season 3 (11.2) New Content

Blizzard has revealed the details for The War Within Patch 11.2 PTR.

New Raid (Manaforge Omega)

The raid for TWW Patch 11.2 centers on Manaforge Omega, which is a new raid set in a cosmic energy-harvesting facility on K’aresh, where the Shadowguard aims to revive the Void Lord Dimensius. Players will use the Reshii Wraps to enter and interact with raid mechanics, making the cloak mandatory. Bosses include a pipe guardian, ethereal armies, a silk-extracting moth, a demon hunter council, and a cosmic battle with Dimensius.

New Dungeon (Eco-Dome Al’dani & Mythic+ Rotation)

The new dungeon, Eco-Dome Al’dani, is a three-boss dungeon featuring a contested ethereal greenhouse overtaken by wastelanders. It launches with Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties, with Mythic+ added at Season 3’s start. The dungeon’s story follows the raid, continuing the lore in a rare campaign-raid-dungeon sequence. A revamped dungeon checkpoint system called Waystones will visually indicate and mark checkpoints on the map and in the world, improving runback clarity. Players will respawn at the most recently unlocked Waystone upon release.

Tazavesh, the Veiled Market: Streets of Wonder (Previous Expansion)

Tazavesh, the Veiled Market: So'leah's Gambit (Previous Expansion)

New Zone: K’aresh

TWW Patch 11.2 will introduce K'aresh, the shattered homeworld of the ethereals, as the main new zone. Originally vibrant until invaded by Dimensius the All-Devouring, players will explore its aftermath and witness the ethereals' efforts to restore their world. K’aresh was first referenced in The Burning Crusade in Netherstorm, connecting lore across expansions.

New Artifact Item: Reshii Wraps

The new artifact cloak, Reshii Wraps, allows players to transform into a form of pure energy to see the world through ethereal eyes. This cloak plays a crucial role across the patch’s content, including open world, dungeon, raid, and delves, and comes with a unique ethereal-themed transmog. Using the Reshii Wraps, players can enter a new phase of K’aresh as beings of energy, unlocking exclusive objectives and activities like rare mob hunting, world quests, Tazavesh warrants, and special phases within dungeons, raids, and delves.

New Delve: The Archival Assault

Taking place in the Azure Vault, this Delve pits players against ethereal pirates and brokers attempting to plunder the vault. Brann Bronzebeard helps players stop the raid. The Reshii Wraps cloak unlocks unique challenge gateways within Delves, such as boss rushes and special challenge rooms. Delves gain enhanced social features, including seeing friends' phase dive presence, leaving messages, viewing player ghosts upon death, and more to be announced, enriching cooperative and community play.

Class Tier Sets: Hero Talent-Based Bonuses

Tier Set bonuses from the new raid are now fully integrated with Hero Talents, granting bonuses tailored to the specific Hero Talent choices of each specialization. This adds deeper customization and synergy between talents and gear bonuses.

PvP Content Updates

PvP receives talent updates to refresh combat dynamics, though specific changes are still under wraps. A new outdoor PvP island called Vanquisher’s Wake will provide a battleground for players to test these updates and engage in world PvP combat.

Beyond the main features, Patch 11.2 will add new mounts, class balances, and more additions of tweaks.
