The release date has not been confirmed by Blizzard, but there are many sources that seem to be pointing towards August 11th for the Patch.
Previous Release Date Speculation
With Patch 12.1 and Season 2 on the horizon, players have been patiently awaiting Blizzard to announce the official release date. There have been some notable speculation of the release date in the past which includes:
Turbulent Timeways ending on August 11th
The 8th week after Patch 12.0.7 released ending on August 11th
A post on Method's Linkedin that indicates the Patch or the Season will release on August 11th before being edited.
Turbulent Timeways is one of the most accurate trackers of when the Patch would be and everything right now seems to be pointing at August 11th, if not shortly around August 11th. If that wasn't enough, another piece of evidence on the PTR seems to have lead to a similar conclusion:
Tidebound Grotto
The Tidebound Grotto raid lair, with the Nymrissa Wavecaller boss, is a single boss raid Lair, similar to Sporefall. This raid, which allows for Flex 15-25 Mythic, is scheduled to release on August 18th, which seems to line up well with the estimated schedule:
Patch 12.1 releasing on August 11th
Season 2 releasing on the August 18th
This is not confirmed by Blizzard at this time.
