Latest - Patch 9.0.5 Revealed

While fans are looking forward to the massive Shadowlands 9.1 update revealed at BlizzCon 2021 - update 9.0.5 is almost here to bring a ton of changes now.

These changes include a long list of class buffs and nerfs, the re-introduction of Valor and plenty more, all going live with this week's Shadowlands reset.

Sanctum of Domination

The next WoW Shadowlands raid, Sanctum of Domination, may just outdo the well-received Castle Nathria.

Sanctum of Domination will give players more insight into The Jailer, and his private torture chamber. The raid also looks to culminate with something big from The Banshee Queen, Sylvanas Windrunner.

"The aftermath of that fight is going to be a very pivotal moment, not just for the Shadowlands but for Sylvanas as well," said World of Warcraft Technical Director Frank Kowalkowski in a recent interview.
