World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Finale Patch Eternity's End Gets a Release Date

gamerant.com:

In November of last year, World of Warcraft announcedEternity’s End, the last major story patch of the Shadowlands expansion. Three months later, World of Warcraft has finally shared a release date for the patch.

Eternity’s End will take players to the First Ones realm of Zerith Mortis, where they must confront the Jailer and put an end to his cosmic schemes. The 9.2 patch for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands goes live on February 22nd.

Beyond a new zone and a plethora of new content to focus on, Eternity’s End heralds the return of class-specific Tier Sets, unlockable through the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid. Beyond the new zone, story, and challenges, Eternity’s End marks the start of the third season of Shadowlands PVP and Mythic+. Rankings for these game modes will be tallied and rewards dolled out, with the third season of both beginning the week after Patch 9.2 launches. PVP enthusiasts can also look forward to the Maldraxxus Coliseum–a new arena coming in Eternity’s End.

World of Warcraft has suffered from substantial content drought since the release of Shadowlands in 2020 due to the ongoing global pandemic, and later the ongoing sexual assault and discrimination lawsuits and allegations which plagued Activision Blizzard in 2021. Its last patch, Chains of Domination, released on June 29th of last year, 7 months after Shadowlands released–meaning there has been another 7 months without new content in the MMO.

Needless to say, players are relieved to finally have a roadmap for Patch 9.2’s release. Ever since its announcement at the end of last year, players have been scouring the Public Test Realm, datamining crumbs of story hints and speculating on others.
