World of Warcraft: Midnight is launching a little later than expected

In recent weeks, a number of leaks have claimed that the next expansion for World of Warcraft, Midnight, will release in late February 2026. Now with the recent beta test concluded, Blizzard has announced the date officially – and it will be a week later than originally anticipated.

World of Warcraft: Midnight is officially launching on March 2nd 2026, a week later than earlier leaks had claimed. The new expansion will introduce four more levelling zones for players to explore, alongside eight dungeons, three new raids and for the very first time in WoW history, player housing.

World of Warcraft: Midnight is the second chapter of the Worldsoul Saga, taking players back to Quel’Thalas and Silvermoon City to defend the Sunwell against Xal’atath and her Devouring Host. This expansion will also introduce a new Alliance-bound race to the game, the Haranir. Demon Hunters will also get a new specialisation to spec in to.

If Blizzard keeps up its current release cadence, then the third and final part to the Worldsoul Saga, titled The Last Titan, should release around late 2027 / early 2028.
