Here’s everything we know so far about Patch 11.2.7.
WoW Patch 11.2.7 release date
WoW Patch 11.2.7 is coming on December 2, based on in-game calendar and Player’s Housing release date.
Patch 11.2.7 overview
Patch 11.2.7 sets the stage for the Midnight pre-patch and the expansion’s launch. Housing takes center stage, but there’s plenty more packed in. New events, catch-ups, and features aimed at giving every type of player something to dig into before Midnight arrives.
Player’s Housing release
The big highlight of Patch 11.2.7 is Housing arriving early ahead of Midnight. Player Housing has been one of the most-requested features in WoW, and it’s launching with decoration sets spanning the entire game: from classic Vanilla themes all the way to Worldsoul Saga.
Housing gives you a new long-term progression path, encouraging you to revisit old zones, chase achievements, and complete past questlines to collect more cosmetic items. We already have two guides ready: one covering the Housing system itself, and another detailing decorations you can start collecting before launch. Let’s start decorating!
Brawler’s Guild
The Brawler’s Guild is returning in patch 11.2.7. You’ll be heading back into Brawl’gar Arena in Orgrimmar or Bizmo’s Brawlpub in the Deeprun Tram to climb the ranks, face new and returning fighters, and prove you’ve still got the chops.
There’s also a hint towards new quest-line and 2 new mounts coming to Brawler’s Guild. For more information, you can read our separate guide:
Turbulent Timeways
Turbulent Timeways will be back in it’s fourth iterration and will arrive somewhere in Patch 11.2. 7— Turbulent Timeways returns for its fourth run, landing sometime during Patch 11.2.7 (Possibly on December 2). As a reminder, the last cycle ran weekly for seven weeks, rotating Timewalking dungeon pools with bonus XP, upgraded loot, and a fresh mount reward.
This time we also get Shadowlands in the Timewalking rotation for the first time. Six dungeons will be available: Necrotic Wake, Spires of Ascension, Plaguefall, De Other Side, Halls of Atonement, and Sanguine Depths. We will also get the new vendor lineup. Expect three mounts, one battle pet, and two toys to pick up, so get those Timewarped Badges ready.
Other features
And the list goes on, besides everything listed before we will get:
- Pandaren Heritage armor;
- Lorewalking for Void Elves and Blood Elves;
- Updated newer players’ and returning players’ experiences;
Here’s how Pandaren armor will look like. The recolors include color shemes for Alliance, Horde, and even neutral one (Possibly for getting max level on The Wandering Isle?).
For 11.2.7, new players will now go from Exile’s Reach straight into Dragonflight, letting them follow the full modern story and even run new Story Mode raids on the way to level 70 and The War Within. Veteran players can still skip to Chromie Time as usual.
Returning players get a dedicated catch-up path. From character select, you can jump into the Arathi Highlands with Thrall and Jaina, hide old quests, use Assisted Highlights to remember your rotation, relearn Skyriding and interrupts, and leave fully geared and ready for current content. You can drop in or out of this flow anytime.
There will also be a fast The War Within expansion recap: a few hours of story and cinematics that take you from the Isle of Dorn to K’aresh. New players will use this path to level 70–80 without needing the full expansion run.
And for lore fans: Lorewalker Cho brings new stories focused on Blood Elves and Void Elves, retelling the Scourge attack on Silvermoon, the fall of the Sunwell, and expanding the long-mysterious Void Elf history ahead of Midnight.
And that wraps up our article! Before Player’s Housing arrives, we suggest finishing up your TWW content with WoW boost.
