Eternity’s End
Finally, the new chapter of the Jailer’s story is here! All Heroes of Horde and Alliance should make themselves ready for the new exciting journey through the ancient plane of Zereth Mortis in pursuit of the evil that Jailer is about to bring upon all existence.
The lands of Zereth Mortis stand out with their truly unique visual style unlike any other place in Azeroth or Shadowlands. The unearthly feeling of strangeness will bewitch anyone who steps upon the waters, sands, or meadows of this mysterious land. It may seem serene and full of infinite calmness at first glance, but beware, for the Jailer has already set foot here, and the evil things may creep around every corner.
What to Expect in Patch 9.2?
In short terms – a lot. Blizzard’s employee confirmed in interviews that Eternity’s End Shadowlands will be the last season in Shadowlands. It’s the grand finale if you will. But, by analyzing their sayings, there still could be more content to come.
Regarding WoW 9.2 Legendary changes, various interviews with the game developers reveal that any player will be able to wear a Covenant Legendary plus any other Legendary. Also, the new Legendary Currency will come from Zereth Mortis and not from Torghast as it was before.
Now let us speak about the main additions that are going to be present in the WoW Patch 9.2.
First, and most interesting, there’ll be an obvious addition of the new Eternity's End raid content called the Sepulcher of the First Ones. There you’ll finally face the Jailer and his minions and make an end to his evil reign.
Second, there’ll be new beautiful gear sets with a clearly distinct appearance unlike anything released to the game before. Many players would be extremely glad to know that these sets will have two-piece and four-piece set bonuses. Yes, just like in good old times.
There will be a whole new region for you to explore and clear from Jailer’s filth – the arcane Zereth Mortis, a place which is the inception of all existence, with a new faction of strange intelligent creatures called the Enlightened, not all of whom are quite believe that the Heroes of Azeroth are here to help them.
You’ll also be able to collect scattered bits of lore and uncover the mysterious musical language of the denizens of Zereth Mortis which grant you access to a range of new activities, quests, events, and valuable rewards.

Patch 9.2 Release Date
The first wave of hype around the upcoming WoW 9.2 update began on November 5, when the first bits of information became available at Blizzard CDN. Since then the rumors were beginning to spread across the community, but the exact release date still hasn’t been confirmed.
So the only way we can discuss the WoW 9.2 release date is purely by speculating. Blizzard hasn’t said a word. We can say though that usually, it takes about a month from the moment the first information became available to the actual release. This, of course, is not reliable information, but we can expect the patch to go live somewhere between late December 2021 and late January 2022. We will keep track of the news and let you know as soon as there is something to tell about the Shadowlands 9.2 release date.
Shadowlands Patch 9.2: Cinematic
There’s a detailed cinematic with developers’ commentary regarding all the incoming Shadowlands 9.2 changes. There isn’t much information aside from what has been already said above. Bits of the story here and there, cool visuals, and developers’ expressions about what you should expect from the upcoming update.
But you’d better see it for yourselves:
