World of Warcraft: Shadowlands’ patch 9.2 will be the expansion’s final chapter, its release date bringing with it a new area to explore, a new raid that sees players facing off against the Jailer himself, and more.
WoW’s 9.2 Eternity’s End update counts among those focusing on expanding available content, but players can also look forward to class changes when its release date occurs, as well as the return of class sets, and the start of new Mythic+ and PvP seasons.
World of Warcraft Patch 9.2 Release Date
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands’ patch 9.2 went live on the PTR (public test realm) during the week of December 2, 2021. That was when players got the first chance to try out its changes, including the new Cypher of the First Ones progression system and various balance tweaks, before raid testing kicked off towards the middle of the month.
PTR cycles usually last between 2.5 and 3 months, which is why we expected WoW 9.2’s release date to occur at some point between mid-February and early March 2022. New updates usually go live with the weekly reset, which happens on Tuesday/Wednesday, depending on if you’re playing on US or EU servers.
Blizzard has now confirmed that Shadowlands’ final major patch, called Eternity’s End, will arrive on February 22.
- WoW patch 9.2 Release Date (GameWatcher estimation): February 22
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has a considerably slower pace in terms of content releases than previous expansions, and will seemingly have a structure similar to Warlords of Draenor, which also only received two major patches.
The ongoing pandemic and internal issues continue to affect the studio but, with WoW’s 9.2 update release date on the horizon, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the MMORPG’s next expansion will benefit from more attention.
