Blizzard Fully Reveals World of Warcraft: Midnight With Player Housing, Prey System and 2026 Launch Window

Preorders are live with a launch promised on or before June 30, 2026.

Overview

  • Unveiled at Gamescom Opening Night Live, the second Worldsoul Saga chapter returns to Quel'Thalas as Xal'atath leads a Void assault on the Sunwell in a Light-versus-Void conflict.
  • Player housing arrives as a full system featuring customizable homes, dyeable decor, progression, and public or private neighborhoods shared with roughly 50 players.
  • Prey introduces opt-in overland hunts where targets can ambush players at any time, offering Normal, Hard, and Nightmare tiers with cosmetics, mounts, titles, and housing items earned through Astalor Bloodsworn in Silvermoon.
  • The expansion adds the Haranir allied race and a new Void-themed Devourer specialization for Demon Hunters, with Void Elves newly eligible to become Demon Hunters.
  • Silvermoon and Eversong are revamped as a key hub alongside zones in Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm, plus new dungeons, delves, and three raids including The Voidspire, with preorder tiers priced $50–$90 and early housing access (beta and three-day head start in the $90 edition).
