World of Warcraft Releases Patch 11.2.7 — The Warning

Blizzard has officially revealed the full Patch 11.2.7 notes for World of Warcraft, arriving just one day before the update launches on live servers. This will be the final major patch of The War Within and acts as a clear prelude to Midnight, scheduled for early 2026. The update brings a wide range of content—from long-awaited housing features to talent tweaks, Timewalking events, and the return of the Brawler’s Guild.

🏡 Player Housing Arrives (Early Access)

One of the headline additions is the early-access launch of the new player housing system. Starting December 2, players who pre-ordered Midnight can finally claim their own home in Founder’s Point (Alliance) or Razorwind Shores (Horde). Homes can be customized, neighborhoods can be formed, and guild communities can manage whole districts together.

A broad selection of furniture will be available from professions, quests, and achievements, and even better—raid and dungeon furniture rewards are granted retroactively, giving long-time players a full décor head start. 🪑✨

🌪️ More Than Just Housing: Gameplay Changes Across the Board

Housing isn’t the patch's only big addition. Patch 11.2.7 updates multiple systems across Legion Remix, Timewalking, skyriding, and more.Some highlights include:

• Easier progression in Legion Remix, with better access to Infinite Power and new world boss spawns.
• Doomguard Challenger now rewards Fragmented Mementos of Epoch Challenges.
• The NPC Erus allows Timerunners to scrap Motes of a Broken Time for additional Mementos, capped at 50 per day.
• Adjustments to abilities like Churning Waters and Naran’s Everdisc for improved clarity and hit detection.
• Select housing items purchasable for Bronze, giving Remix players a few final weeks to secure exclusive décor. 🏺

⏳ Turbulent Timeways Returns (Dec 2 – Feb 9)

The popular leveling and gearing event is back. Over ten weeks, players will run through a rotating set of Timewalking dungeons—this time including Shadowlands for the first time.Expect:

• Fast leveling for alts ⚡
• New cosmetic rewards
• Timewarped Badge purchases for Shadowlands items

🐉 Major Updates to Skyriding

Dragonriding-style movement receives one of its biggest overhauls yet:

• Vigor is completely removed
• All core abilities now share six rechargeable charges
• Take Off is now free
• Whirling Surge gets its own 30-second cooldown

This redesign aims to make airborne travel smoother and more intuitive across Azeroth.

🥊 Brawler’s Guild Returns on December 9

After years of absence, Bizmo’s Brawlpub and the Brawl’gar Arena open their doors again. Players can climb ranks, challenge new and familiar bosses, and earn a range of cosmetic rewards—including new housing décor, a recolored flying mount, and a fresh version of Bruce. 🐊🔥

📘 New Story Content — A Bridge to Midnight

The new questline Visions of a Shadowed Sun pushes the narrative toward Midnight, focusing on Vereesa Windrunner’s visions of Quel’Thalas' possible downfall.

To help players refresh their knowledge before the expansion, Lorewalker Cho introduces a special Lorewalking chain dedicated to the history of the Blood Elves, Void Elves, and the Sunwell. 🌅
