Quel’Thalas calls you home as Midnight arrives in World of Warcraft

The next major chapter of World of Warcraft, Midnight, launches on March 2nd, 2026, ushering in a journey that blends nostalgia, discovery and a looming threat from the shadows. Players return to the elven kingdom of Quel’Thalas, now under siege by Xal’atath and her ever-growing Void army, poised to tear at the fabric of Azeroth.

The expansion introduces new and reimagined zones, bringing fresh visual detail to familiar landscapes. Players will also gain access to new abilities, alongside an updated content structure with all-new Delves, brand-new dungeons and a lineup of raids that anchor the PvE progression.

Midnight also delivers one of the community’s most anticipated features: player housing, giving players the chance to build a home of their own in Azeroth. It reinforces the expansion’s core theme —that some places are worth defending, and a home is always one of them.

With threats rising, lands changing and your own corner of Azeroth finally within reach, this expansion invites players to step into a story shaped by legacy, conflict and the promise of returning home.
