'World of Warcraft' news: Update 7.1 patch out this month; game director moved to another Blizzard project

World of Warcraft: Legion Blizzard Activision

The long-enduring game "World of Warcraft" is going to have another expansion called "Return to Karazhan." Blizzard has announced that the new patch 7.1 will be released on Oct. 25, so a lot of players are delighted that the rate of content for the game is still more or less the same.

According to the Parent Herald, the "World of Warcraft" 7.1 patch was supposedly the first ever major expansion released after the "Legion" expansion, and regardless of the reason behind it, players can expect a lot of new features for the "Return to Karazhan" patch for the game.

Primarily, it will feature a five-player dungeon raid where they will need to fight nine bosses in succession. Other raid dungeons will be located in the midst of the Emerald Nightmare, along with new lore that will add to the pre-existing Nightfallen lore.

Furthermore, according to the Ecumenical News, a lot of preparation should be made before moving forward to the new areas. Some of the featured bosses are reminiscent of enemies players first encountered in the older version of Karazhan, while other much more powerful enemies will be entirely new.

Also, the new dungeon will feature the traces of the old dungeon in terms of familiar items, as well as areas players may have seen before.

For those who want to test out the new patch before it gets released on the 25th, they can go to the "World of Warcraft" PTR and explore it. After all, all the patch 7.1 features are free to use, such as the raids, as well as the new weapons and armor the new patch will offer once it gets officially released.

Meanwhile, the "World of Warcraft" director Tom Chilton is now out of the game's development as he will be working on another unnamed Blizzard project. It remains to be seen how it will affect the game as a whole.
