WoW Classic WotLK Ruby Sanctum Release Time Countdown

Before World of Warcraft: Classic's Cataclysm expansion, we've got one more raid left to go! I am, of course, talking about the Ruby Sanctum, where you will help the Red Dragonflight in their time of need.

If you are a Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) Classic player, you should mark your calendars and set your alarms for the Ruby Sanctum raid, we are here to help, so let's flask up and get going.

WoW Classic Ruby Sanctum Raid Release Time & Time

Blizzard has announced that the final raid of the WotLK era in WoW Classic, Ruby Sanctum, will open its doors on 11 January 2024 at 15:00 PST. For those in the UK/Europe, that's 23:00 GMT on the same day.

For those who didn't get to play WotLK previously, the Black Dragonflight is assaulting the Ruby Sanctum. Their goal is to destroy it and see Deathwing emerge in Azeroth. Below, you can find a countdown clock until the release of Ruby Sanctum.

Raiders will face Halion as the main boss, alongside three mini-encounters, namely:

• Saviana Ragefire
• Baltharus the Warborn
• General Zarithrian

The Ruby Sanctum isn't the most exciting raid ever, but it is a good way to finish off the WoW Classic WotLK era as we move towards the Cataclysm pre-expansion event and subsequent release.
