World of Warcraft Reveals Patch 12.0.7, All But Confirms Patch 12.1

World of Warcraft has officially revealed Patch 12.0.7, Revelations, essentially confirming that Patch 12.1 will take place on Atal’Utek in the process. Though this patch does not have an official release date yet, the recent eight-week release cadence World of Warcraft has followed suggests it will arrive on or around June 16.

On April 21, World of Warcraft released Patch 12.0.5. The WoW update received some criticism due to a multitude of glitches, but it introduced many new activities, including Void Assaults, Abyss Anglers, Ritual Sites, and Decor Duels.

Despite Patch 12.0.5 having only just been released, World of Warcraft has already revealed its next update. Titled Revelations, Patch 12.0.7 will include tons of new content, including the first story chapter after World of Warcraft: Midnight‘s campaign. In it, the Haranir call all the Elf and Troll factions together in an attempt to break bread. Zul’Jan, brother to Amani chieftain Zul’Jarra, attends as his tribe’s representative along with his uncle, Kinduru.

However, when the event does not go as planned, the two trolls become embroiled in an ancient Amani mystery involving Zul’Jin, Hexlord Malacrass, and an enigmatic entity called Ula’tek. According to the Public Test Realm, this story is the first part of a campaign called “The Curse of Ula’tek,” which soft-confirms the likely title and subject matter of Patch 12.1. Many players suspected Atal’Utek, an island off the coast of Zul’Aman that teleports characters away from it if they fly too close, would be the WoW Patch 12.1 zone; it seems like those suspicions have almost certainly being proven correct.

Beyond the new campaign, there are tons of other stories, activities, and events fans can enjoy in Patch 12.1. Here are the major features that have been revealed so far:

• Void Assaults spread to Naigtal and Val, two Legion Assault planets from the Legion expansion, featuring World Quests, rare spawns, events, and world bosses.
  • Naigtal, an arcane-rich fungal world occupied by the Hal’hadar Ethereal faction
  • Val, an icy Legion world the Dominaar Imperator Pertinax now controls.
• The Omnium Folio, a player power feature centered on the Sunstrider Omnium, an ancient Elven relic built by Dath’remar Sunstrider.
• Sporefall, a one-off raid against a fungal giant named Rotmire, featuring the new flexible 15-25 Mythic difficulty.
• A Troll Lorewalking story featuring the Zandalari, Drakkari, Gurubashi and Darkspear Trolls told by Assistant Lorewalker Li Li Stormstout.
• A side story helping Loa Speaker Brek and Jan’alai welcome a new clutch of Dragonhawks into the world.
• The return of Turbulent Timeways with the Spawn of Vyranoth as a reward.

  • Algeth’ar Academy
  • Halls of Infusion
  • Neltharus
  • Ruby Life Pools
  • The Azure Vaults
  • Brackenhide Hollow
