World of Warcraft‘s next big update, called Midnight, has been hinted at for a while. Starting November 11th, some players will get a chance to try it out in a beta test. Blizzard has just released the first information about what players can expect during this test.
The test will invite experienced players, members of the media, and a limited number of others. Blizzard says invites will be sent out frequently during the test period. Those who bought the Epic Edition of the game ahead of time might also receive an email invitation. Players can confirm if their invitation is real by logging into their Battle.net account.
Okay, so the first phase of the beta is gonna let me check out the first four zones in Midnight! I’m hoping to roll a Void Elf Demon Hunter, if that’s my style. If you snagged the Epic Edition or preordered, you’re getting in early on December 2nd – both the expansion and finally, player housing! And there’s even a cool add-on out now that shows you all the achievements you need to complete to unlock decorations and furniture for your new place. It’s like a roadmap to decorating heaven!
Players will have the option to create their own Haranir. Later in the beta test, Blizzard plans to add new raids, Mythic+ dungeons, challenging high-level creatures, improvements to the user interface, and more cosmetic options for character appearances.
According to recently discovered information, Midnight is expected to release on January 27, 2026, though Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed this date. A preview video showed the arrival of the Void Storm within the game world. Details on everything included in the upcoming Midnight beta are listed below.
