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.
