Overview
- Season 1 follows early March’s launch with the 6‑boss Voidspire raid, the Dreamrift mini‑raid, four world bosses, and the two‑boss March on Quel’Danas opening a few weeks later.
- Patch 12.0.5 brings recurring Void Assaults to the open world and Decor Duels, a 5v5 Prop Hunt‑style mode set in Silvermoon City.
- Summer’s 12.1 update adds a new max‑level zone, a major raid, a new dungeon, fresh Delves, a Mythic+ refresh, and an overhaul of the Friends system.
- Patch 12.1.5 introduces Labyrinths—large, mega‑dungeon‑inspired Delve experiences playable in chunks—and another small raid, with an experimental standalone mode from the Plunderstorm/Remix team later in the year.
- Blizzard reports heavy early use of housing and plans copy/paste, mass‑select, import/export codes, higher decor budgets, and pets/mounts placement, while pre‑launch offers free access for returning players and XP/reputation boosts through early February.
