World of Warcraft: Midnight
World of Warcraft: Midnight is the eleventh expansion for Blizzard Entertainment's long-running MMORPG and the second chapter of the Worldsoul Saga, following 2024's The War Within. It launched on Monday, March 2, 2026, for Windows PC and macOS — there is no console version. Like the rest of World of Warcraft, it requires an active monthly subscription (or prepaid game time), and the expansion itself is a separate purchase on top of that subscription. Midnight returns players to the elven homeland of Quel'Thalas, raises the level cap from 80 to 90, and introduces long-requested Player Housing.
