With Patch 11.2, The War Within is changing how players prepare for a new season. You can earn Champion-level gear from Mythic 0 dungeons, Delves, and World Bosses before Season 3 even begins. Here’s what’s coming the moment the Patch 11.2 goes live and before Season 3 starts.
TWW Season 3 starting date
We still don’t know exactly when TWW Patch 11.2 or Season 3 will launch. As we predicted in our Ghosts of K’aresh guide, the release is expected sometime between July and October 2025.
Traditionally, major patches launch one week before a new season begins. This structure has always felt a bit strange: players return to explore fresh content, but nothing substantial is available yet. No raids, no Mythic+ dungeons, and no new Delves to dive into.
However, things will change with Patch 11.2 and the start of Season 3. While there will still be a one-week gap, players will have meaningful content to engage with before Season 3 officially starts. Let’s take a closer look at what’s available right from Patch 11.2 day.
TWW Patch 11.2 activities before Season 3
Right at the launch of Patch 11.2 the week before Season 3, you’ll be able to play:
- Season 3 non-Bountiful Delves
- Season 3 Heroic & Mythic 0 dungeons
- Season 3 World Bosses
While it might not seem like much to some players, there’s still new content to enjoy and prepare with. Delve enthusiasts can explore the new Delve, Mythic+ fans can get ready for upcoming challenges and learn the new routes, and everyone can take on World Bosses for loot or simply for fun.
TWW Season 3 Champion gear before launch
All of the new activities will reward some gear. While it may not be too exciting for Mythic raiders in BiS gear, it’s still valuable for beginners, returning, and casual players. We’re talking about Champion-level items from Heroic and Mythic 0 dungeons and World Bosses. So far, Blizzard hasn’t announced any full Season 3 loot tables, only the new Season 3 tier sets and Reshii Wraps artifact.
Champion gear might not be that impactful to some players, but it’s a solid starting point for many others. If you’re one of them, don’t skip the first week of Patch 11.2: it’s your chance to gear up early and be ready for Season 3.
Here’s what the WoW developers had to say about it:
“You’ll be able to grab [on the] day of the patch Champion level gear from the sources [non-bountiful Delves and Mythic 0 dungeons]. Also, World Bosses will be available. So you’ll be able to jump in and have something to do right away.”
