World of Warcraft Patch 11.1.5: A Lighter Update Than Usual
World of Warcraft Patch 11.1.5, set to release on April 22, is shaping up to be a lighter content update than what fans typically expect. With a staggered release schedule, limited-time events, and no new story chapters, this patch may leave players wanting more.
The update introduces several new features, including the Nightfall open-world activity, the Cooldown Manager UI tool, and the return of Horrific Visions from *Battle for Azeroth*. However, much of the content won’t be available right away. For example, Horrific Visions Revisited won’t launch until May 20, nearly a month after the patch’s release. Similarly, the Dastardly Duos event won’t start until June 3, leaving Nightfall as the only major new content available on April 22.
There’s also no mention of any new campaign chapters or side quests, meaning the narrative of *World of Warcraft: The War Within* will not progress in this update. Additionally, two of the new events, Winds of Mysterious Fortune and Dastardly Duos, are limited-time, meaning they won’t be available indefinitely.
**Patch 11.1.5 Release Schedule:**
– **April 22:** Nightfall Scenario, Cooldown Manager, Winds of Mysterious Fortune
– **May 20:** Horrific Visions Revisited
– **June 3:** Dastardly Duos
Other updates include class tuning, Children’s Week adjustments, and an accessibility feature to change item rarity colors. However, with limited long-term content, Patch 11.1.5 might set a new precedent for smaller content patches in the future, following the trend of Patch 11.0.5’s limited event focus and the more substantial Patch 11.0.7. Fans can expect larger .7 patches moving forward.
