The Shadowlands 9.1 Update is just hours out, and its biggest new addition is the Sanctum of Domination raid.
The Sanctum of Domination won't be going live with the rest of the 9.1 update, however, instead launching a week later (and the rest launching in parts over the next month).
Here's everything you need to know about the WoW Shadowlands 9.1 update, and its new Sanctum of Domination raid.
Latest - Sanctum of Domination Release Schedule
WoW Shadowlands 9.1 brings a ton of content on day 1, when it goes live on Tuesday, June 29th.
But it won't be all of the content, as Sanctum of Domination won't be accessible until the next Tuesday.
Read through the full Sanctum of Domination release schedule below:
- July 6: Normal, Heroic Difficulties
- July 13: Mythic Difficulty, Raid Finder First Wing (The Tarragrue, The Eye of the Jailer, The Nine)
- July 27: Raid Finder Second Wing (Soulrender Dormazain, Remnant of Ner’zhul, and Painsmith Raznal)
- August 10: Raid Finder Third Wing (Guardian of the First Ones, Fatescribe Roh-Kalo, and Kel’Thuzad)
- August 24: Raid Finder Fourth Wing (Sylvanas Windrunner)
Sanctum of Domination Raid
The next raid in WoW Shadowlands, Sanctum of Domination, takes the fight to the Jailer with the support of all four covenants, and will have massive lore implications along with some awesome fights!
Blizzard gave us tons of details in a Bluepost that has since been taken down, leaking the following:
Raid the Sanctum of Domination - Brave treacherous, unexplored reaches of Torghast in a new 10-boss raid: the Sanctum of Domination. Encounter the true Eye of the Jailer, turn the tide against the Tarragrue, and come face-to-face with the Banshee Queen herself in a fateful confrontation.
