Here’s everything we know so far about Patch 12.1.5.
WoW Patch 12.1.5 release date
WoW Patch 12.1.5 does not have an official release date yet. Blizzard has now revealed the main features of the update and is preparing Patch 12.1.5 content for PTR testing. We’ll update this section as soon as the exact launch date is confirmed.
Patch 12.1.5 overview
Patch 12.1.5 is the next minor content update for Midnight and continues directly from the events of Patch 12.1. The patch focuses heavily on the conclusion of the Quel’thalas and Zul’Aman storylines while also expanding Season 2 endgame progression.
The biggest additions are the new Labyrinth content type, The Unbinding of Kith’ix one-boss raid, Aqir Invasions, and Ascendant Venomstones. Let’s take a closer look at everything coming in Patch 12.1.5.
New raid: The Unbinding of Kith’ix
Another major addition in Patch 12.1.5 is The Unbinding of Kith’ix, a new single-boss raid. Kith’ix has been imprisoned beneath the Vaults of Ula’tek for generations, but Ula’tek’s defeat has weakened the restraints holding the C’Thraxxi in his subterranean prison.
Blizzard has not revealed the complete raid reward structure or other encounter details yet, so we’ll update our coverage once more information becomes available.
Labyrinths
Probably the biggest new gameplay system arriving in Patch 12.1.5 is Labyrinths. Labyrinths expand on the Delve formula while offering a much larger experience inspired by WoW’s mega-dungeons. Instead of the relatively short adventures offered by normal Delves, Labyrinths are sprawling environments with their own progression systems, unlocks, challenges, and rewards.
The first Labyrinth introduced in Patch 12.1.5 will be Kindo’jan.
New outdoor event: Aqir Invasion
Patch 12.1.5 also adds Aqir Invasions, new zone-wide public events taking place in either Eversong or Zul’Aman.
An Aqir Invasion lasts for 10 minutes and occurs every hour. During the event, players will move through a sequence of public objectives spread across the zone before eventually facing a powerful boss.
Ascendant Venomstones
Midnight Patch 12.1.5 will also introduce another way to empower Season 2 gear with Ascendant Venomstones.
Following the update, the Ascendant Voidcore progression concept returns in a new form. Players first need to speak with Orin Straylight near the Catalyst in Silvermoon City and begin the quest Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom.
New story campaign: The Promise of Tomorrow
The Midnight story continues with The Promise of Tomorrow, a new campaign centered around the aftermath of Ula’tek’s defeat.
Defeating Ula’tek has awakened an even older threat. Players will need to help maintain the uneasy peace between Quel’thalas and Zul’Aman before returning to the deepest parts of the Coiled Isle.
The campaign eventually leads to a confrontation with Kith’ix, an ancient C’Thraxxi general and enemy of the Amani. Blizzard describes Patch 12.1.5 as the dramatic finale of the current Quel’thalas and Zul’Aman saga.
