When Does World of Warcraft: The War Within 11.1: Undermine(d) and Season 2 Begin?

World of Warcraft: The War Within’s first major update, Undermine(d), is right around the corner, bringing with it a brand-new zone, the Liberation of Undermine raid, Operation Floodgate dungeon, D.R.I.V.E. system, and more.

The Undermine(d) update arrives on February 25, 2025, in NA and on February 26 for EU. The War Within Season 2, alongside The Liberation of Undermine raid, begins on March 4 in NA and March 5 for EU.

World of Warcraft 11.1: Undermine(d) introduces players to the Undermine zone, the never-before-seen capital city of the goblins. Between shady cartel dealings and picking up a shiny new method of transportation, the Undermine(d) campaign leads up to the latest raid and explains what on Azeroth we’re doing down here.

Those looking forward to racing down the mean streets of Undermine won’t be disappointed as D.R.I.V.E. drifts into the game with the launch of the new patch. Your D.R.I.V.E. vehicle (the G-99 Breakneck) will be your primary method of transportation in the Undermine, swapping out your typical ground and flying mounts with a dynamic, high-speed hotrod.

The following features will be available as soon as World of Warcraft: The War Within: Undermine(d) launches on February 25:

World of Warcraft: The War Within Season 2 dungeon rotation

As always, a new season means a new dungeon rotation and an Affix switch-up. For better and for worse, here are the dungeons you’ll be exploring in Season 2:

• Operation: Floodgate (New)
• Cinderbrew Meadery
• The Rookery
• Darkflame Cleft
• Priory of the Sacred Flame
• The Motherlode (from Battle for Azeroth)
• Mechagon – Workshop (from Battle for Azeroth)
• Theatre of Pain (from Shadowlands)

Mythic+ Affixes in TWW Season 2 include:

• Xal’atath’s Bargain: Pulsar — While in combat, Xal’atath summons pulsars that orbit players and must be intercepted within the time limit.
• Xal’atath’s Guile — Keystones above level 12 increase health and damage of enemies by 12% per level.
• Xal’atath’s bargain: Voidbound — Dark Prayer is no longer a channel, and the Void Emissary no longer grants damage reduction to creatures while active. It now also has a 15-second cast time and grants all nearby creatures Xal’atath’s Gift when it finishes casting.

World of Warcraft and The War Within expansion are available on PC and Mac.
