Your Exclusive First Look at WoW's Biggest Patch Ever

By Brandin Tyrrel

World of Warcraft: Legion is being injected with yet another hefty content update next week. Patch 7.2, ominously named "The Tomb of Sargeras" is the largest patch ever created in WoW's storied 13-year history, and it's launching Tuesday, March 28.

Watch Blizzard's official patch overview above, exclusively on IGN.

The patch is loaded with content, and will push the narrative of the demonic invasion of Azeroth. Players will return to the Broken Shore in a new scenario, with new world quests, bosses, and treasures, pushing into the heart of the Legions power on Zeroth all while in the shadow of a massive demon command ship called The Sentinax.

Players will also get the opportunity to join a region-wide, cross-faction effort to construct buildings that provide buffs and open new content.

A new 4-boss dungeon is being unveiled in the patch, dubbed The Cathedral of Eternal Night, this once holy place is the upper chambers of the Tomb of Sargeras and supports Normal, Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic Keystone difficulties.

As if that's not enough demon-centric activity, Demon Assaults are back, peppering the zones of the Broken Isles with the Armies of Legionfall that must be driven back.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Patch 7.2 will finally lift the flying restriction in the Broken Isles, just in time for class-specific mounts. Additionally, Artifact knowledge level cap is increasing, allowing you to upgrade many of your current traits and add completely new ones.

There's also a new transmogrification set tab where you'll be able to track item sets you've previously earned, but no longer wear around while adventuring.

And if you don't want to cooperate, PVP Brawls are bringing fun new twists on the familiar player-versus-player activities, starting with “Southshore vs. Tarren Mill”, “Gravity Lapse”, and “Warsong Scramble”. Similarly, a Pet Battle Dungeon is coming with patch 7.2, rounding out the confrontation-based content.

There's a ton more coming in Patch 7.2, The Tomb of Sargeras, so for more as it comes out, keep it right here on IGN.
