New Zone: Zereth MortisZereth Mortis was created by the First Ones, and it's intended to create afterlives. In Eternity's End, you'll face him, and perhaps save Azeroth and the Shadowlands from a fate worse than death. Get Ready for Eternity's EndZovaal, the eluse Jailer and ruler of the Maw in the Shadowlands, has made his next move-and with it, he threatens to rewrite the rules of reality. Watch an exclusive developer preview of the latest chapter in the WoW saga. The effort to take a second look at some of the game's older content comes as Activision Blizzard continues to deal with the fallout related to sexual harassment and discrimination allegations described in multiple lawsuits and investigations.The next World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Content Update is just around the corner. WoW game director Ion Hazzikostas recently said in an interview that the changes to old content are being made in order to make sure Azeroth is a welcoming and inclusive environment. While not a content patch, it brought major fan-requested changes to various Shadowlands' systems alongside the removal or alteration of older content the WoW team has found to be problematic in the years since the content's original release. There's no word yet on when patch 9.2 will be arriving, or even when it will be added to the game's public test realm, but Blizzard says more details will be coming as those dates draw closer. Patch 9.2 will, as expected, also bring new mounts, a new PvP season, changes to professions, and updates to various Shadowlands systems like Soulbinds.

Along the way, players will team up with the realm's automa to decipher a lost language and unlock more of Zereth Mortis' secrets. While exploring Zereth Mortis, players will aid the Enlightened, a group of brokers that arrived long ago and have devoted themselves to the pursuit of knowledge.


The sets will be obtainable through the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, PvP, and Mythic+ dungeons. Some of the most exciting news to come from the developer preview is that class-based Tier sets are making a welcome return after being absent since the game's Legion expansion. If that is in fact the case, Shadowlands will be the second expansion in the game's history, alongside Warlords of Draenor, to have received only two content updates.

Based on comments made by Danuser in the developer preview, where he says the Shadowlands expansion is a story told in three acts and that this is the "final chapter," it certainly sounds like patch 9.2 will mark the end of the expansion. Most WoW expansions conclude after three, or sometimes even four, major content patches before moving on to the next expansion.
