One example is Ahn'Qiraj Remembrance Day, which takes place on Jan. In more long-term additions, Patch 7.1.5 will add what Blizzard is calling 'micro-holidays.' Where holiday events in the game normally last for a week or two and offer a lot of different rewards, micro-holidays will only run for a day or two and will be there just to shake up what players are doing, not to provide rewards or achievements. The Blade's Edge PvP arena will be receiving an update. The Brawler's Guild feature will return with dozens of new bosses, including new 'raid' encounters that will pull in other players hanging out in the arena. All six of the dungeons from 2012's Mists of Pandaria expansion will become part of the game's timewalking feature, which allows players to tackle older dungeons at the max level of difficulty for special cosmetic rewards.

In the case of 7.1.5, this means a number of additions.

The developer says small patches will focus on additions that will remain a part of the game long-term rather than content that only fits within the constraints of any given expansion. Patch 7.1.5 will be coming first and represents a new type of 'small' patch that Blizzard is working on to ensure that fresh content will hit the game more often. During a panel at BlizzCon, the developer revealed two upcoming patches full of new content: Patch 7.1.5 and Patch 7.2.

Patch 7.1 for World of Warcraft: Legion just launched a few weeks ago, but Blizzard is already talking about what's coming next for the expansion.
