WoW: Midnight Early Access Launches February 26, 2026

Blizzard Entertainment launched early access for World of Warcraft: Midnight on February 26, 2026, allowing players who preordered the Epic Edition to explore the expansion's core features ahead of the full release on March 2 in North America and March 3 in other regions. Set in the blood elf homelands of Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City, the expansion centers on an invasion led by Xalatath, the ancient Void wielder who has absorbed the power of Dimensius and now threatens the Sunwell with her Devouring Host.

Midnight marks the second chapter in The Worldsoul Saga, following The War Within and preceding The Last Titan. Players begin their journey in a revitalized Eversong Woods, where the looming Voidstorm has altered the landscape with renewed Sunwell energy, blending familiar beauty with emerging threats. From there, adventurers can choose paths through three additional zones: the troll kingdom of Zul'Aman, with its ancient forests and mountains; Harandar, a fungal jungle where the haranir people navigate rootways and guard the Rift of Aln; and the hostile Voidstorm, a wasteland ruled by void creatures like the domanaar.

Early access provides immediate access to leveling up...
