It’s been an epic few days for World of Warcraft, including the announcement of the Battle for Azeroth expansion at BlizzCon, but there’s one more announcement we didn’t get to: when you’ll be able to enter Antorus, the Burning Throne.

We’ve now finalized the upcoming raid’s release schedule and are pleased to share it with you today!

Antorus, the Burning Throne Release Schedule:
• November 28: Normal and Heroic difficulties
• December 5: Mythic difficulty and Raid Finder wing 1
• December 19: Raid Finder wing 2
• January 2: Raid Finder wing 3
• January 16: Raid Finder wing 4

Additionally, Legion PvP Season 5 will end and Season 6 will begin the same day that Antorus opens on Normal and Heroic difficulty (November 28).

Good luck!

Comment by Greensmower1I still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by thomasaugusttoHmm, how will the wings be distributed? Also, will 7.3.5 be the week-before patch for this raid? Or is it coming later on?Comment by TheTractorI still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by szombatibalu7I still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by joeymagzThere's not much to "learn" in LFR. LFR is for people that don't normally raid and just want to see the content with no real effort and no fear. Learning is what Normal/Heroic are for.Comment by perculiaHmm, how will the wings be distributed? Also, will 7.3.5 be the week-before patch for this raid?

Perhaps we'll see a ToV-style mini raid in Silithus as an interlude into 8.0? Maybe 8.0 is coming sooner than we think (June /July release).Comment by szombatibalu7I still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by jpop2887I still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by TelbunThere's no point in LFR being out first since half of the time no one cooperates or pays attention to mechanics anyway. I specifically avoid LFR for the first 1-2 months of a raid because attempting any bosses is horrendous with the performance of most players.Comment by duranoxI still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by szombatibalu7I still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by jaq1010If you have to gate LFR-and I don't think you do at all, if you think you're forced to run it at a chance at lower ilvl tier gear, that's your problem, not Blizzard's-then gate it so the first wing opens with Mythic and then a wing every week after. It being January 2018 before LFR players see the Argus fight at this point is Blizzard still dying on the hill of "we hope to get people into Normals." People aren't going to run normals instead of LFR because if they could run them, they already ARE, and the group finder is all absurd ilvl requirements and AOTCs needed. Week one of Antorus will be "ilvl 930+, link ToS AOTC, bads will be kicked."

Let it open over a month instead of this absurdity.Comment by DraccyMan, I was planning to not renew through December, but now I have to wait to mid January for a full complete? Blegh.
Guess I'll do another 3 month renew and then call it quits.Comment by grinderrthat would be nothing but a disaster. it has to be like it is nowComment by StormeeyI still wish Blizz would turn it around and let ppl learn in LFR first before normal and heroic...Comment by AnotherSheepIf the gearing process is good to me, I might be able to hop on this soonish after it's out. Catch up time.Comment by ED209It should be 'opens', not 'opened' in "Antorus opened on November 28th".

Also, does anyone ever think all LFR wings should be released simultaneously along with mythic? It seems a little silly to make them wait that long for the whole thing.Comment by cordell9What is a good item level for LFR of this raid? I just came back to WoW recently and want to be prepared to jump in.

I don't have time for a normal raiding schedule but would like to see the end.
