WoW Patch 11.1: Undermine and Beyond – Exploring New Subzones
World of Warcraft's upcoming Patch 11.1, "Undermined," introduces the subterranean Goblin capital, Undermine. But the expansion goes further, adding several new subzones.
Key takeaways:
- Undermine, the main focus of Patch 11.1, is a vast underground Goblin city.
- Gutterville, a corrupted area within the Ringing Deeps, likely connects to Undermine and houses Excavation Site 9.
- Kaja'Coast, a new Goblin encampment near Zuldazar's Bilgewater Bonanza, also appears linked to Undermine.
Beyond the central Undermine zone, Patch 11.1 significantly expands the world with at least two new subzones:
Gutterville: Situated in the southeastern Ringing Deeps, Gutterville's maroon coloring hints at Black Blood corruption. This area is expected to serve as an entry point to Undermine and will contain Excavation Site 9, one of the patch's new Delves.
Kaja’Coast: Located in Zuldazar, near the Bilgewater Bonanza, this new Goblin settlement is another probable access point to Undermine. It's speculated to be the location of the drill-like tram showcased in the initial Patch 11.1 announcement.
New Locations in World of Warcraft Patch 11.1:
- Undermine: The sprawling underground Goblin capital.
- Gutterville: Subzone within the Ringing Deeps.
- Kaja’Coast: Goblin camp in Zuldazar.
The Undermine map reveals a central hub, Slam Central Station, with five apparent access points. Given Gutterville and Kaja'Coast represent two, three more locations may receive Goblin-themed additions in this update.
While a firm release date remains unannounced, Patch 11.1 is anticipated for mid-to-late February. Early January will see the update hit the Public Test Realm (PTR), allowing players early access to these new areas.
