World of Warcraft’s Patch 10.1 is soon to hit the PTR, here’s everything we know about the next update coming to Blizzard’s timeless MMO.
It’s hard to deny the sheer amount of World of Warcraft has had over the years. The 19-year-old MMO has withstood the test of time and remains one of the most popular games of the genre.
Dragonflight has been no different for the massively multiplayer game, which still continues to see updates to this day. With that being said, Patch 10.1 is soon to be released to the PTR servers and then to live, meaning it’s a good idea to catch up on what’s coming next to the game. So here’s everything we currently know about World of Warcraft Patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion.
When is World of Warcraft Patch 10.1?
World of Warcraft’s Patch 10.1 will be arriving to the PTR on March 10th, 2023. However, no date has been confirmed for its launch to live as of yet.
We do know that Patch 10.0.7 will be dropping March 21st, 2023 for America. So it’s likely that 10.1 should release some months after that.
