It’s been more than six months since World of Warcraft’s latest expansion launched and it is now time for a massive update to refresh the retail experience with lots of new content.
Everything Arriving in Midnight’s 12.1.5 Update
World of Warcraft: Midnight just dropped update 12.1.5 and delivered a ton of new content for retail players to explore.
The champions of Azeroth face a new threat in the wake of Ula’tek’s defeat during the events of Curse of Ula’tek (12.1). Now, an ancient enemy rises once again as the long-thought defeated C’Thraxxi general, Kith’ix, returns in the latest Midnight content update.
Here is a breakdown of the biggest key features added in the new update:
- New Raid: The Unbinding of Kith’ix
- Venture into the hidden and newly unsealed chamber beneath the venomous abyss for an epic one-boss encounter to topple the newly freed C’Thraxxi general, Kith’ix.
- Available in Story Mode, Normal, Heroic and Flexible Mythic difficulties.
- New Delve Feature – Labyrinths: Labyrinth of Kindo’jan
- WoW’s first “mega-delve,” this ancient Amani funeral complex has been sealed for centuries. Now reopened, looters and Vilebranch comb the complex for relics while the interred spirits defend it with deadly force.
- Players will venture in with their delve companion Valeera enjoying dedicated progression systems, powerful unlocks, and rewards that match the scale of the challenge, including Mythic gear.
- New Outdoor Events: Aqir Invasions
- Zone-wide public events taking place in Eversong or Zul’Aman.
- For ten minutes each hour, champions will tackle a series of public events across the zone, one after another, before confronting an intense boss fight.
- Zone-wide public events taking place in Eversong or Zul’Aman.
- Keystone Level: Myth
- Keystone Myth returns and rewards players of high levels of Mythic+ gameplay as they achieve a score of 3600 for the season.
Although most World of Warcraft recent hype has focused on the WoW: Forever beta, it should be interesting to see if this new retail update helps bring back some lapsed players. A lot of players reactivated their subscriptions for the Forever beta, so some players may be more open to checking out Retail’s latest update while they wait for the Classic+ launch date to arrive.
Be sure to check back soon for lots more World of Warcraft news and updates.
