World of Warcraft's newest round of Trading Post rewards in September are styled to celebrate all of the friends we've made along the way, heralding BlizzCon's return on September 12-13 2026.

World of Warcraft Midnight starts off with four main factions you can earn reputation and Renown with: Silvermoon Court, Amani Tribe, Hara'ti, and The Singularity.

Blizzard is continuing to refine and add to the cooldown manager's functionality in World of Warcraft when patch 12.1, the Curse of Ula'tek, goes live on August 11, 2026.

The latest WoW patch is now live: patch 12.1, the Curse of Ula'tek, features a new zone with new activities including public events, dungeons, delves, and a new raid launches on August 11, 2026, and the servers are expected to come back online at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern).

This coming August the World of Warcraft Trading Post will line its inventory with new Old Western-style transmogs, weapons, as well as mounts that are not Old West in style but kind of cool nonetheless.

The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms are progressing to Phase 3 on August 27, 2026 at 3 pm pacific time.

Over the last week, Blizzard implemented user interface changes to World of Warcraft Classic realms and The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms that specifically affect the look of character name plates and raid frames, and also affect all Classic realms including Era, Season of Discovery, and Hardcore.

Don't let the July celebrations fool you because the theme at the World of Warcraft Trading Post this month is red, blue, and dead.

World of Warcraft's yearly Midsummer Fire Festival is happening now until July 5, 2026 and you can join the party at any faction's capital city or any neutral sanctuary capital, including Silvermoon City.

World of Warcraft Midnight Season 2 begins on August 18, 2026, one week after patch 12.1's August 11, 2026 launch.
