Warcraft

It's certainly quite the headline, so whether you've been following along with popcorn in hand or you have no idea what's happening let's break down the latest developments of this uniquely 2026 story.

In World of Warcraft Midnight, completing the main story to earn reputation and increase your Renown with each of the new Midnight factions will only get you so far now that everything is Warband-wide.

World of Warcraft's Midnight expansion kicked off off the second part of the Worldsoul Saga as baddie (in every sense of the word) Xal'atath invades Azeroth with an army of void creatures at her beck and call.

World of Warcraft introduced Player Housing to the community as part of the lead-up to the Midnight expansion, and Blizzard is taking that commitment seriously.

This week's WoW server maintenance is a big one, at least for some servers: Midnight realms are scheduled to be offline for four hours, while all versions of WoW Classic are scheduled to be back online within the hour.

While there's a ton coming to WoW in patch 12.0.5, one of the smaller features, Abyss Anglers, caught our eye, because it seems similar to an indie game a lot of us around the office adore: Dave the Diver.

In a blue post released earlier on Friday, steady flight is no longer being locked behind Pathfinder achievements, and instead is now available to all from the start in The War Within and Midnight zones.

The WoW Secret Finders Discord has come through again, this time for WoW player housing aficionados, having discovered a lovely vase of roses hidden away behind a fake advertisement.

World of Warcraft's newest expansion, Midnight, just launched on March 2, 2026, but Blizzard is not content to bask in the success of what is, by all accounts, a well-received expansion launch, and the developers are already hard at work on patch 12.0.5.

The first season of World of Warcraft: Midnight  is now live, and with it the return of The Race to World First.
