Many players predicted that the first pre-patch would arrive on September 22 or September 29, so those predictions are looking more and more realistic and likely now that some of the data is being delivered in the background. This download is a pretty exciting step forward and hopefully means that players will be experiencing the level squish and all of the other pre-patch updates within just a week or two. The update was around 20 GB for us, but would be much smaller for players who have already downloaded Shadowlands content from participating in the beta on the public test realms. Starting earlier this week, many players began noticing that some new World of Warcraft content was downloading in the background in preparation for an upcoming update.

That said, players who check the Blizzard game launcher this week may notice a big update running in the background that suggests the World of Warcraft pre-patch is right around the corner. The pre-expansion content will introduce the level squish, new character customization options, and some new storylines that help set things up for the coming conflicts in Shadowlands.Īlthough pre-expansion patches usually arrive about four weeks out from the expansion's release date, Blizzard still hasn't confirmed an exact release week for either the first or second of the pre-patches.

World of Warcraft Shadowlands is still a little more than a month away, but the expansion's pre-patch should be arriving any time now.
