On July 7, World of Warcraft announced that Patch 11.2, Ghosts of K'aresh, will go live on Tuesday, August 5, just over four weeks after the announcement was made. World of Warcraft Patch 11.2 is the final major patch of The War Within, and will take players to the Ethereals' home world of K'aresh, as they fight back against the forces of the Void.
World of Warcraft's 11.2 update is headlined by the remains of K'aresh, a world consumed by a Void entity called Dimensius, the All-Devouring. Players will join forces with an unexpected ally against Dimensius in the Manaforge Omega raid once Season 3 begins a week after Patch 11.2 goes live. Other features that will be included with Patch 11.2 include a new artifact cloak called the Reshii Wraps that will gain power as players progress through K'aresh, and the return of Tazavesh, The Veiled Market, as a base of operations for players to explore.
