CONFIRMED: Assault on Ruby Sanctum Coming in 3.3.5

UPDATE: Zarhym just confirmed that the Ruby Sanctum content is coming in patch 3.3.5! Check out the post after the jump.

Game Informer recently sat down with Tom Chilton to look back on the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and the game director hinted that there might be some more content coming before Cataclysm launches. Here's his quote:

"We can't say for sure at this point, but we are looking into the possibility of having a boss in the Ruby Sanctum, which is another part of Wyrmrest Temple. It's a little too early to have a lot of details on that, but I wouldn't characterize it as a huge chunk of content. It’s not a patch 3.4 or anything. ... I think of it more as an extension of patch 3.3."

While this is the biggest news from the interview, the rest of it is definitely worth a read. For example, Chilton says that the necromancer and runemaster were in the running to be the game's first hero class.

ZAM user Horsemouth has started a thread on the Ruby Sanctum encounter in our WoW general forum, so head over there to see what our users are saying about the topic.

Assault on the Ruby Sanctum post by Zarhym

As we prepare for the public testing phase of minor content patch 3.3.3, some players might come across information regarding upcoming content that isn't yet available. To avoid any confusion, we'd like to tell you about an exciting new raid dungeon we are working on for content patch 3.3.5.

The Ruby Sanctum

A powerful war party of the Black Dragonflight, led by the fearsome Twilight dragon, Halion, have launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple. By destroying the sanctum, the Black Dragonflight look to crush those that would stand in the way of their master’s reemergence into Azeroth and to ultimately shatter the Wyrmrest Accord – the sacred bond that unites the dragonflights.

The battle that is to come will surely deal a crippling blow to the Red Dragonflight, however, it is up to you to stop this unprecedented offensive and defend the Ruby Sanctum. First you must face the assault of Halion's servants, Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian, before squaring off against Halion the Twilight Destroyer, a new and deadly force in this realm.

The Ruby Sanctum will feature 10- and 25-player content, Heroic difficulties and all-new rewards! Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to its release.
