Usually, the WoW makers don't reveal when and with what content they will be running a public test server for the online role-playing game. This probably has to do with the fact that they don't want to make any promises in advance that they can't keep after all. But this time, in the middle of December 2021, there's an exception: Community Manager Kaivax lets you know via the WoW forum that today, December 15, 2021, the last PTR build of December 2021 was uploaded.
The design team's work on the End of Eternity will of course continue, but will only be expressed in test server hotfixes. The next major build for Patch 9.2 will then hit the PTR in the first week of January 2022.
WoW Patch 9.2 will not be released in 2021
And in good German, this somewhat cryptically worded announcement can actually be read like this: WoW Patch 9.2 will no longer be released in 2021, but rather early in 2022. This has already been indicated over the past few days, even if our editor Phil, for example, was of the opinion that WoW 9.2 is actually visually as good as finished.
Since last weekend (December 11, 2021), however, announcements have been making the rounds that the time migration for Legion, which is currently being held in World of Warcraft (buy now ), will be extended until the first week of January 2022 - more or less to give players something to do over the Christmas and New Year's holidays. The Mage Tower is crying out for you ...

The end of eternity
With WoW Patch 9.2, among other things, the new play area Zereth Mortis and the raid Mausoleum of the First will come into play. In addition, you can expect the splitting of Tazavesh, the Dance Studio in the Darkmoon Faire and even more content, which you can read about on our patch overview.
