- Published on Mar 8, 2026
- Midnight is upon us, and your hour has come. The Worldsoul Saga enters its darkest chapter with the launch of World of Warcraft: Midnight.
Xal’atath’s machinations have brought the Voidstorm to Azeroth, threatening all in its shadow. As her Devouring Host of ravenous aberrations and cruel Domanaar unleash chaos, the Alliance and the Horde must join forces to defend what matters most: home.
Defy the darkness as you embark on new Delves, dungeons, and raids that will take you from Silvermoon City to the roots of the World Tree. Discover the reclusive race of Haranir, the new Devourer Demon Hunter Spec, and Player Housing, where you can craft, customize, and decorate your own piece of Azeroth.
Where will you be for Azeroth’s darkest hour? Play World of Warcraft: Midnight now!

Ya know, Goldenmist village really can't catch a freakin break.
You mean Suncrown? Goldenmist just has a bunch of Nightborne in it
I thought the same exact thing, saw suncrown and laughed
exactly my thoughts when I flew over it
@GlaiveThrow Yeah Suncrown! Wrong side of the map lol.
Goldenmist is actually super cozy now apart from the Naga invasion (I'm half hoping this is a tease for Azshara crashing the elven family reunion)
After almost 20 years, we can finally fly in Eversong Woods lol
Yep, the area isn't secretly on the Outlands map anymore! 🎉
I can't, I'm intimidated.
but still not in the draenei zones
The developer in charge of that decision needs fired immediately
Someone tell Zul'jan we aren't supposed to /spit anymore.
ahh! that's funny!
You actually can /spit just not while targeting someone
/spit @ basedinspace
Carebear devs protecting their whales 🐳
1:04 /spit emote is back!!
I was so disappointed when I returned to wow and saw it vaulted 😭😭😭😭
Its been back for a while just cant do it while targeting someone
Gotta do like Zul'jin: type "This what I think of X!!!" then /spit 😂
@smokeythagamer8521 Modern day gaming
@fu6817 DEI HIRES you mean......
is that... a Night Elf Heritage Recolour?
Just for Shandris (for now)
Don't...don't give me hope 😢
@Forcy-20 it's just for shandris sadly
1:59 Wait, where was that blue color scheme for the Headless Horseman transmog set that would be perfect for my Death Knight?
Unreleased
Yea that would be nice, probably gonna be in the Traders Post soon.
Sindorei and Kaldorei teaming up again just like in Legion Nighthold raid. Also, another Amani raid again too lol, Amani trolls are very recyclable, *keep clean and green* 🤣
Where is the rest of the horde?, why are they not sending massive support to Silvermoon City?
Horde doesn't care about some lame elves
They send suramar nightborne
Tbh it’s more about reaching out to whoever is closest. Belameth to the north, the rest were in the city anyway, Silvermoon and the Telemancy link to Suramar.
I get the impression that everything up to the end of the last raid of the patch happens really quickly in universe.
they quit playing this lame excuse for a warcraft game years ago
@hadayaramadhania true warchief would send warriors!
why do everybody nowdays do a trailer for the trailer before the trailer?
It's to get the attention of people who will hover it before clicking, not for the people guaranteed to watch regardless.
for the trailer of the trailer.
I'm convinced 90% of the comments are bots. Compared to other WoW trailers, this looks absolutely horrible. The design is not there, the story is not there, but the bastardization of a great fantasy world into a Fortnite lookalike IS there.
They have to be. Every comment I see is always like "OH EM GEEE!!!! THIS EXPANSION IS SO AWESOMESAUCE! I CRIED BUTTERFLY TEARS!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭"
No WAY this many people are praising this garbage.
They are. Most of these companies definitely buy bots.
Arator needs to publicly execute his barber man 😂
Looks like Ragnar it’s kinda sick
i love him so much lil baldie
Agreed his hair don't work for him
He looks like Ken from Tokyo Revengers
I kinda like the braid-hawk. I actually wish PC elves could get his, Lor'themar's and Liadrin's new hairstyles.
Jaina has shown Thalyssra the trick with the arcane cannons after all.
The side quest in this expansion are so good! I recommend everyone to read the quest texts and listen to the music
same
And only fly if you absolutely have to! The zones are exquisite to ground-ride through and immerse yourself!
Im savoring those! First trying to get through the main story a comfortable pace before diving into those
True ❤
I skipped them all, then read ONE quest text for a side quest and got instantly hooked! Only side quests tomorrow!
World of Cringecraft
And the aspects went on a family trip I guess?
Hahaha once again no where to be found . What was the point of restoring their connection to Azeroth then?!
aspects are not OP like Catacalysm days never will be again
@johntravis7304 no, but they certainly had something happen to them in Amirdrassil
@adam-11herbsplus now they're blessed directly by Azeroth herself, so they're HER aspects yet they're taking a break from fighting so they can mend their old wounds? Overall it's immersion breaking which isn't great in a story.
Patience..
You think with the new race and the world tree rootwalking, we wont get to see them?
What fun would it be, or how poorly written, if they showed up immediatly?
That is some bad dialogue.
And what about the sword of the TWW Trailer? Some News?
GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Poor people launch :D
SPIDEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm loving it! ♥☃
How are you people still giving these people money, lol?
Retail is garbage
All the elves are together, aaaaaaaw😢
I played your game for 11 years. But you spat in my face. Guess where I'm from.
earth
thrilling uuuhh
So WoW got to the moment when even expansion trailers don't feel epic and adventurous anymore.
This ... is just too pathetic for a quarter of a century of development...
well, nobody is there anyway anymore
Not even a queue on launch. It's not looking good for Midnight.
@ragnnohab because of early access, there isnt a true launch anymore
@ragnnohab It’s actually looking *VERY* good for _Midnight._
These trailers used to be epic cinematics.
Did you not see the Arator cinematic they released or are you just choosing to complain
@anthonyzarfati3579I did not see it
@StevenForditudegot it
@anthonyzarfati3579 Would not help it. Blizzard lost all it's credibility enjoy your game slop.
So I don't understand what will happen to Alleria.
The story has been a lot better than it has been in the recent past. Especially the Arator line.
The art department has knocked it out of the park.
The quest text has been fantastic
Class tuning should help with some of the op and up specs.
Dungeons are great. The deleves are fun.
This is a great start.
Story far better hahahaha, sry thats not true, all Twists are a Copy from the past. The complete Story Line triology IS so completly disappointing. They killing Always cool characters, but the new ones have Zero Character Development...
You are delusional
@ArgimaniacArathor 0 character development? We played different games.
@benror7733 fr i really liked the arator questline. it's kind of a retread of anduiin, but it has different beats and that's what makes it good imho. everyone's voice acting was also top notch. harandar was kind of a snoozer icl but it had some great music and i really enjoyed the voidstorm where decimus subverts us and lothraxion's crashout culminating into the dungeon was really good.
Dragonflight is better
Where's Iridikron
waiting for The Last Titan to come out
Next expansion.
Yeah im sick of xal, thought she was gonna start something after dying in WW and kick off a more substantial villain
@mynameiscal3478 She is substantial
Northeend
Forces of Azeroth fighting to save the world vs. me who wants my knife back
This expansion actually made me quit WoW. IT's disgusting that the Alliance can set foot in Silvermoon, so unnatural. The game is just boring. There is no more Alliance vs Horde. There is holding hands and being nice to everyone, even to the Trolls who killed millions of elves.
Same, since BC its the first i skip... everything is dumbed down, lore does no matter, and the characters have 0 personality... and the Silvermoon thing...it's just blasphemy..
this " game" is made for homoseuxal individuals
Думаю нас потихоньку готовят к тому, что будет три стороны, которая за свет, которая за бездну и нейтральная, это интересная мысль, а вот дополнение классное!
Alliance retaking silvermoon is the only thing that bliz did right
Not able to play much but the city's amazing
They are dropping spoilers like a madman!
Always have since they started these. Main thing is that we're missing the context. Although the writing and story core elements aren't exactly anything new it's still fun to see exactly how and when the pieces fit together.
Have you ever known a trailer of anything ever not give spoilers? XD
Where's the launch cinematic? 'cause that is NOT the launch cinematic.
I WILL DESTROY YOU XALATATH!
Back to POE2......
Give us Amani playable or thei body types for trolls!!
They did, just need to do the quest to get the option for trolls
@LinkytheGreat not they did not they just gave a skin colour not there body types
@LinkytheGreat No, they didn't. It's only tattoos and face paint.
Ah welcome, welcome, this is how us Draenei players felt with Man'ari :D
Fix abundances
They made Chris Metzen woke.
How is he woke?
@cameronmcewen9666 He literally said: 'I wish we didn't call it WARcraft."
@chrisraijin5925 Proof?
Please Blizzard made launch even worse for players how pay less
Dialogue and writing is so soy i cant
compare this to the TBC or wotlk trailer. smh
This is what I think of you and your light
super based!!! I loved that scene.
L E G I O N
now in purple.
TBC 3
You say that like its a bad thing
funny that you would mention them....
My honest reaction 1:05
looks lame, tbh
Then why are you here?
"All you've done is unite us". Oh Arator; that was precisely the point. Play the villian so that we & the worldsouls evolve.
전사살려😢😢
Worst trailer yet
Everyone is saying otherwise.
Not shown: every mob is now a damage sponge and questing is a bigger slog than Vanilla
Blizzard's really trying to make Xal'atath the next Gul'dan aren't they?
Only complaint is that whoever is writing the dialogue and characters has no clue how to write.
Hey
Hey hey.
I haven't been this excited for an expansion since Legion... 🔥
(Keep it up! 🫶😁)
Its amazing
Same here! It’s so good!
I was lucky enough to have early access and I've done the full campaign over the weekend. Absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Enjoy yourself, I did.
Jesus wept reading this
Pathetic 😂
I hated arator in the lead up to this expansion. He my boy now
Who?
@gentlemanroguefelz3493 Son of Alleria Windrunner and Turalyon. Idk how much he's talked about Horde-side, but he's a fairly popular figure on the Alliance. Paladin lore tends to go hard this side. It's been cool to see him spotlighted so far this expansion and to see him dig into his blood elven roots.
@gentlemanroguefelz3493 You live under a rock.
Wow hasn't been good since wotlk I will just enjoy tbc
🍁
Why not wait until the servers are back up from maintenance to release this?
Christ it looks awful, the awesome blizzardtrailers are gone for ever
Эх, а какие раньше были ролики..
OOO ITS OUT TODAY!
Lets Goooo...
Launch trailer? I am already max level though
Yea its a poor mans Midnight launch.
Yuri Lowenthal is in everything fr
Playable Amani, I BEG!!!
Amani customizations become available in this expac
@gentlemanroguefelz3493I have them, it's a few skin/hair colors. Nowhere close to the new Amani trolls we see.
Can this game please just die. Warcraft lore has taken a massive downfall for over a decade now.
Would it really make you happy if it did?
@DougS45it would make us all happy
@DougS45It would definitely make me happy. Right now I am watching Blizzard parade around in the corpse of a game I once loved.
Do you see pigs flying outside your window? And you’d better answer.
@neofaith If you loved this game, you’d want to see it continue with _World of Warcraft Classic._
Pc only?
what the point to do all this when we know that xal'atath will be on our side by the end of this expansion
She already did that and betrayed us. Everyone knows better not to fall for her tricks again... They should...
AMAZING work guys, thank you!
這幾天搶先體驗下來，真心希望更多人來玩、來回歸、來玩
depressing how the trailers contain zero cinematics now....
Souless slop
ILLIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
Why do they treat him like a child? 😅
Shaman Tank PLEASEEEEEEE!!!
This looks like its building up to a scenario where Ilidan will return to save us all....wait....is he the Last Titan?
Isnt Sargeras the last titan?
@gilthreyblaunce no, Azeroth is the Last Titan.
poor
Light bad, legion expansion heros spat on. That part of the story feels bad
Tbc
nice raid spoilers Blizzard 1:36
from european mmo - to korean mmo
European?
I saw the first 8 seconds and I was like NOPE! Rather go in blind with no context of what to expect 😂😅
not a hater of the current story telling. but man one or two orcs doing orc things (for the good) wouldnt hurt nobody...except xallatath
I’m playing BC
Is it called midnight because of how mid it is?
The games graphics are showing how old this engine is. I love this game, but they should have broken off and did an updated graphics version. Only the cut scenes are any good.
But still, I do miss the old girl.
epic clip im so going to buy it !!!
1:40 THE GASP I LET OUT
🔥
"Little people", "little lights", little little... what do you have Xal’atath’s against small things! 🤷♂
Maybe it's to show that she's underestimating and belittling (beLITTLE I'm so funny) everyone?
PtSD from being a dagger
*breathe angry gnome and goblin* 😡
@Thesassyclawinthemoon 🤣🤣
Did you see her orginal body
Абсолютная соя для пориджей.
I haven’t played wow in 20 years and this looks so lame
Not bad ✨
Night falls.
This is gonna be great, can't wait!
ok
This kinda makes me not want to play it if i'm being honest...
