World of Warcraft: Midnight Launches March 2, 2026, With Housing Early Access on December 2

The update revisits Quel'Thalas under a Void assault alongside stricter limits on gameplay‑altering addons.

Overview

  • Blizzard confirms player housing as a flagship feature, with furnishings earned through gameplay sources and optional premium currency.
  • The expansion introduces the Haranir as a new Allied Race and brings a rebuilt Silvermoon/Quel'Thalas as the campaign setting with Xal'atath targeting the Sunwell.
  • Blizzard will block UI mods that interact with gameplay and has simplified many class toolkits to reduce reliance on third‑party addons.
  • New onboarding flows route beginners from Exile's Reach into a streamlined Dragonflight story mode, with guided recaps and a War Within catch‑up path for returning players.
  • Midnight releases on Windows PC via Battle.net, with ongoing beta testing ahead of launch.
