Hellfire Citadel release schedule revealed
The release schedule for the upcoming Hellfire Citadel raid has been revealed: as usual, Normal and Heroic will be released alongside the patch, while Mythic and the first Raid Finder wing will follow a week later. Subsequent Raid Finder wings will be released every two weeks, with the fifth and final wing being released on week ten. While no official release date has been given for patch 6.2, signs point to its release in the near future. With the raid schedule listed below, the entirety of Hellfire Citadel will likely be available on all difficulties by the end of August.
