The War Within patch 11.1 release date is February 25, with Season 2 and the Liberation of Undermine raid to follow

We now have a date for The War Within‘s first major patch: patch 11.1 is going live on February 25, so hopefully you’re all prepared to head down into Undermine. The War Within Season 2 will start a week later, launching on March 4. This is another speedy raid rollout for The Liberation of Undermine: Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic all open together, with Story Mode unlocking in week two and additional Raid Finder wings opening every week.

Here’s the Season 2 raid release schedule:

• Week of March 4: Raid Finder Wing 1: Shock and Awesome (Cauldron of Carnage; Rik Reverb), Normal, Heroic, Mythic Difficulty
• Week of March 11: Raid Finder Wing 2: Maniacal Machinist (Sprocketmonger Lockenstock; Stix Bunkjunker), Story Mode
• Week of March 18: Raid Finder Wing 3: Two Heads Are Better (Vexie and the Geargrinders; One-Armed Bandit; Mug’Zee)
• Week of March 25: Raid Finder Wing 4: The Chrome King (Chrome King Gallywix)

Along with this news, we now have confirmation that Plunderstorm is wrapping up on February 25, freeing our time up to head to Undermine and enjoy the new raid.

What’s in WoW patch 11.1?

Patch 11.1 is sending us to Undermine, the Goblin home city that we’ve heard quite a bit about over the years, but never been to. There will be plenty to do in town, including:

• Race cars with the new D.R.I.V.E. system that lets us customize our own vehicle to get around. (There won’t be any flying in Undermine, but the cars will go as fast as flight… or faster if you customize them for speed.)
• Fight Gallywix in the new 8-boss raid, the Liberation of Undermine, where you’ll earn renown with the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club to collect buffs, mounts, and more.
• Operation: Floodgate, a new dungeon — though unlike previous X.1 patches it will not be a “mega-dungeon” a la Return to Karazhan.
• Two new Delves, Excavation Site 9 and Side Street Sluice, as well as a new tank spec for Brann.
• Four Goblin Cartels to gain Renown with, in a process similar to the Severed Threads faction in Azj-Kahet.
• Cage of Carnage, a new PVP arena.

And of course your standard new Campaign chapters and quality of life improvements, including new backgrounds for your Warband login screen.

So get ready to head to Undermine on February 25!
