So here’s to new content! There are just 12 days until patch 9.1 launches. Of course, following Blizzard’s usual pattern with flying, we won’t be able to fly in Korthia or the Maw - but just being able to get on ground mounts there will make things significantly simpler. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve given up on quest objectives because it’s just too annoying to get somewhere (or I get lost and just hearth and give up).

I’m personally looking forward to being able to fly, which will make doing World Quests a lot easier. There’s something for pretty much every player in patch 9.1. There will also be updates to Torghast and the Maw - including the ability to ride in the Maw - and we’ll finally get to fly in the main Shadowlands zones. We’ll have the new Korthia zone to explore, the Sanctum of Domination to raid, and the Tazavesh mega-dungeon to run - which includes an Infinite Pirate Dragon boss. Covenant stories will continue as we finally take the fight to the Jailer and invade the Maw.

Fortunately, if you’re tired of current content, patch 9.1 is packed with new goodies. It’s been seven months since Shadowlands launched, when most WoW expansions have gotten to their X.1 patch within four months. It’s taken quite a while to get to this point. If you’re working on Ahead of the Curve, you have until reset on the 29th to finish, but if you’re looking to get PVP or Mythic+ achievements, Shadowlands Season 1 ends on June 28, so wrap up before then. If you’re trying to finish last minute tasks, like Ahead of the Curve or Shadowlands Keystone Master, you need to hurry: there’s less than weeks left to wrap up your gameplay goals.

Patch 9.1 has been on the PTR since April, and now we finally have a release date: June 29.
