World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion revealed at Gamescom 2025

Just as promised, today at Gamescom Opening Night Live, Blizzard took over the stage to give us the grand reveal of Midnight, the next World of Warcraft expansion. 

World of Warcraft: Midnight is the second chapter of the Worldsoul Saga, a new story that spans a trilogy of expansions. The story kicked off with the previous expansion, The War Within, and now later this year, WoW fans can jump back in to level up all over again and take on challenging new story content.

The trailer is essentially the full opening cinematic. If there is one thing to know about Blizzard, it is that their cinematics are always top tier and well worth watching even if you don't necessarily play the associated game. Overwatch had some incredible cinematics back in the day, Diablo has had some incredible ones, StarCraft was legendary for its cutscenes and the World of Warcraft cinematics might be the crowning jewel of them all.

World of Warcraft: Midnight will go up for pre-order soon, with the usual $50 base edition, the $70 Heroic Edition and the $90 Epic Edition. The expansion is due to release later this year. All editions include a Level 80 character skip so you can quickly catch up on a character if you've fallen behind and want to jump straight into the new content.
