Blizzard reveled several details of the next content patch for World of Warcraft this week at Gamescom, promising new ways to customize and store your gear, a new raid finder tool, and three new five-man dungeon that make some impressive promises. But don't take our word for it... OK, do take our word for it, we're pretty trustworthy. But also check out the official text of the announcement:
Transmogrification: The ethereals are setting up shop around Azeroth to offer adventurers their latest astonishing interdimensional service. The upcoming Transmogrification feature will let players customize the appearance of their gear like never before. For the full rundown on how it works, check out our recently posted blog: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3309048#blog.
Void Storage: Now that players have a good reason to hang onto old gear, they’re going to need somewhere to store it all. With Transmogrification comes Void Storage, a long-term stash where players will be able to keep the items they just can't seem to let go of. Those ethereals think of everything, don't they?

Death to Deathwing: Alongside all this comes a whole lot of new content. The developers revealed that patch 4.3 will feature three new 5-player dungeons, setting the stage for the ultimate fight in Cataclysm: the final showdown against Deathwing himself. Patch 4.3 will include a whole new tier of raid content culminating in an epic boss encounter unlike anything players have yet experienced in World of Warcraft.
Raid Finder and More: We're also working on a number of other new features, including a Raid Finder -- a tool similar to the Dungeon Finder designed to match players looking for PUG-friendly raids -- and some cool renovations for Azeroth's traveling Darkmoon Faire.
No date was given for the release of the patch, but we'd guess it to go live somewhere around BlizzCon, which kicks off Oct. 21.
