The Void is stirring again, and Azeroth’s next battle begins at Midnight.
Blizzard have confirmed the global release details for World of Warcraft: Midnight, setting a co-ordinated worldwide launch for 2 March, 2026 at 3:00 PM PST / 7:00 AM SGT (3 March SGT).
The expansion marks the return of Xal’atath, the Harbinger, and the spread of the Void across Azeroth, continuing the storyline set up in The War Within. A new trailer was also released on YouTube:
Housing early access opens on 2 December, ahead of Midnight’s release
Blizzard will open Housing Early Access on 2 December 2025 at 3:00 PM PST / 7:00 AM SGT (3 December SGT) through the “The Warning” Midnight Prologue update.
Players who have purchased any edition of Midnight can join a neighbourhood, choose a house, and begin personalising their space with a limited selection of available items.
Players without the expansion can still begin collecting Housing items through gameplay activities, achievements, and vendors throughout Azeroth, though the ability to place and build will require a Midnight purchase.
