Explore a New Outdoor Zone—The Coiled Isle
You’ll pick up on the continuing story of Zul’jan as the fog lifts from the island off the east coast of Zul’Aman. We’ll join Zul’jarra as she pursues him to bring her brother and others home to Zul’Aman. We’ll delve into a long-buried history of the Coiled Isle, learn more about what is locked away, and who was left behind.
Enter the Mountain for New Adventures
Within the mountain on the Coiled Isle, you’ll undertake a variety of new activities as you explore this corrupted eco-system filled with poisonous waters and venomous foes.
Plunge Into the Vaults of Atal’Utek primed for challenging group content and rotating public events. Taking part in these public events will ultimately build up to a boss fight.
While in the zone players will have access to a custom talent tree that will provide different perks of player power along with quality-of-life perks. These perks can include things such as something to reduce the potency of the venom found around the isle as you explore.
Encounter Curse Surges and Face Rare Elites
As you adventure through the zone, you’ll come across Curse Surges which will regularly spawn rare elites at five rotating locations throughout the isle.
Killing a rare elite unlocks Cursed Fishing in that location. You’ll also discover a Local story with a tortollan sea captain named Tokka, gain reputation with his crew, and learn to fish in more cursed waters around the isle.
Step Into Lairs and Face the World Bosses Inside
Introducing Lairs an evolution on world bosses located in instanced encounters with scaling difficulty up to flexible Mythic with 15-25 players. These will be found in specific locations similar to Delves and will come complete with a summoning stone outside the lair.
The goal is to make it easier for players to gather and take on these bosses by encountering them at specific locations where you can choose your difficulty and use the summoning stone to bring others to you.
Face Three New Bosses in a New Dungeon—Altar of Fangs
This new three boss dungeon will be available up to Heroic difficulty at the launch of the content update and will join the Mythic+ rotation once Midnight Season 2 begins a week after the launch.
Face Ula’Tek in The Venomous Abyss Raid
Arriving with the start of Midnight Season 2, players will face Ula’tek herself in the Venomous Abyss. An ancient powerful creature of hatred, corruption, and venom, Ula’tek has been unleashed by Zul’jan’s actions. This new raid dungeon will feature eight new boss encounters and you’ll ultimately face off against Ula’tek as the final boss.
Venture Into Three New Delves Including a New Nemesis Delve
The Ring of Glory
Gnarldor Isle
Venomfall Deeps Nemesis Delve
In the Curse of Ula’tek content update, players will be able to take on three new Delves with one of these Delves as a new Nemesis Delve. You’ll step into The Ring of Glory, Gnarldor Isle, and the Venomfall Deeps Nemesis Delve for new rewards (and a little glory). With the start of Midnight Season 2, Bountiful Delves will become available and players will be able to push into the upper tiers to challenge themselves beyond Tier 7 and face the new Nemesis boss.
You’ll also begin encountering new snake and venom variants in existing Midnight Delves.
Get Ready for Midnight Season 2
One week after the content update goes live the new season will begin, bringing with it a new dungeon rotation for Mythic+, a new raid, new PvP Season, more Prey, and Bountiful Delves and keys become available.
Mythic+ Dungeon Rotation
New Dungeon: Altar of Fangs

Stalk New Prey in Season 2 and Explore New Stories in the Arcantina
Season 2 brings about new Affixes, new targets, and some new hunts on the Coiled Isle in Prey.
Astalor also has a few new voice lines to deliver to you and new Arcantina Quests are ahead.
Gear up for PvP Season 2
Training grounds have introduced more players to the PvP ecosystem. After the introduction to Battlegrounds versus bots, we’re introducing Arenas versus bots to players who want to dip their toes into the Arena and start learning the ropes.
Cooldown Manager and User Interface Updates Ahead
The Cooldown Manager is getting some additional updates and will be able to track trinkets and potions, helping with consumable management.
For managing other resources, we’re making more updates to the ping system. Players will be able to ping their action bar or the Cooldown Manager itself providing your team with the status of your spells.
You can also ping your own unit frames to convey things like your health to the group.
New configurations for healers on Raid Frames are also arriving allowing you to configure which kinds of healing buffs and what the priorities of them are for the ones you want to show up there. This will allow you to track what types of healing spells they’ve applied to the group.
More class changes are also on the way. Keep an eye on the PTR notes to learn more in the weeks ahead.
Housing Updates: Make the Most of Housing with New Blueprints and Pets!
For players who want to share their cool builds with others, you’ll be able to export the entirety of your exterior and your interior, or your interior, your exterior, or a single room alone as you like.
Other players will be able to import your exports to use with their own homes. If you want to try something new, you’ll also be able to save what you currently have in place, play around with additional layouts, and then reload if you change your mind.
If you want to start with a clean slate completely, there will also be a new Reset option which places all your items back in your storage and lets you start new.
If you’re hoping to import a blueprint but don’t have everything in that blueprint already, the system will show you a list of what is in a blueprint and tell you what you have or are missing. You will still be able to import even if some items are missing.
Welcome Your Pets Home
Let your pets roam free in your home by adding a Pet Bed decor item which will let you place your noncombat companion pet inside the house. Your pet will also be able to wander through your home through some new navigation technology allowing them to make their way around your decor.
New Endeavors Are Coming to Your Neighborhood
More Endeavors are on the way including for the Amani trolls, kobolds, Ohn’ahran centaur, and tortollan.
Amani Troll Endeavor
Kobold Endeavor
Ohn'ahran Centaur Endeavor
Tortollan Endeavor
Continue the Hunt for Xal’atath with Arator
We’ll also get an update on Arator as he deals with the fallout from the Voidspire and we’ll also investigate the resurgence of the Twilight’s Blade with him as we continue the hunt for Xal’atath.
Check out the Public Test Realm (PTR) to experience some of the new content before it goes live. Don’t forget to continue the story of Zul’jan beginning the week of July 7.
We’ll see you on the Coiled Isle!
