World of Warcraft Reveals New Details About Patch 11.1

World of Warcraft just released a WoWCast video detailing some of the specifics of Patch 11.1, Undermined, including new Delves, rewards, PvP, and some of the tier sets from the Liberation of Undermine raid. The update may not have a release date yet, but World of Warcraft has officially given fans a pretty good look at what the Season 2 patch will look like.

Patch 11.0.7, Siren Isle, only just recently went live in World of Warcraft. Even so, Blizzard is already gearing up for Undermined, the first major content update of The War Within that was revealed during the Warcraft Direct presentation.

World of Warcraft patch 11.0.7 is officially live, but one of the headlining features in the content update is not available for players quite yet.

Now, Blizzard has given players a closer look at what is in store for them in World of Warcraft Patch 11.1. Blizzard recently released a new WoWCast episode where WoW community manager Bethany Hudson spoke with game designer David Hollings and assistant lead quest designer Mark Kelada about everything coming in Undermined. New instance bosses, rewards from overworld content and Renown reputation, and even a few of the Season 2 raid tier sets can be spotted throughout the video.

Dynamic and Revolutionary Improvements to Vehicular Experiences, or D.R.I.V.E. for short, is a new form of ground mount coming in WoW Patch 11.1. Fans will obtain a customizable car from Nanny Talullah, who also provides Shipping and Handling activities that let players unlock parts for their mount. After customizing their car’s stats, they can challenge four racecourses spread throughout the zone in both forward and reverse versions.

In the overworld, fans will be able to align with one of the four main Goblin cartels: Steamwheedle, Blackwater, Bilgewater, or the Venture Company, similar to how the Azj-Kahet Pacts work. Each week, players can select one of these factions to work for, enabling them to unlock transmogs, toys, D.R.I.V.E. customizations, and more. World of Warcraft even teased a secret fifth cartel that could appear later – potentially the villainous Darkfuse.

Season 2 will begin a week after the World of Warcraft patch launches, bringing with it the Liberation of Undermine raid, Operation: Floodgate dungeon, and three new Delves: Excavation Site 9, Side Street Sluice, and a secret boss Delve like Zekvir – as well as Goblin-themed modifiers for existing Delves, plus curios for WoW: The War Within’s Delve companion Brann. With Goblin-themed tier set bonuses that provide buffs like Luck of the Draw! And Insurance!, the customizable Delver’s Gob-Trotter mount, and a brutal new PvP arena called Cage of Carnage, The War Within Season 2 is going to be a zany update full of content for players to enjoy.

In this opening chapter of The Worldsoul Saga, you’ll journey through never-before-seen subterranean worlds filled with hidden wonders and lurking perils, down to the dark depths of the Nerubian empire, where the inscrutable Harbinger of the Void has gathered her arachnid forces to bring Azeroth to its knees.
