WoW

Like a snake, or maybe like a raid full of snakes, time slithers ever-forward -- and with the march of time, comes a new patch for World of Warcraft.

It's another short and sweet maintenance day for World of Warcraft, with just one hour of downtime scheduled for all realms.

Nestled among all of the reveal-bombs at BlizzCon's opening ceremony was a rather ordinary reveal of what's coming next in Midnight's patch 12.2.

The leaves are changing color, the temperatures are dropping, and it's time for Brewfest in World of Warcraft: Midnight!

It's been a while since we've had such a short WoW maintenance, but today's World of Warcraft downtime is as quick as it gets with just an hour of maintenance scheduled for all realms.

One of World of Warcraft: Midnight reveals at BlizzCon was the roadmap of future content leading up to the next expansion, The Last Titan.

This week's World of Warcraft maintenance is an exact match to last week's maintenance: all WoW Classic servers are scheduled to be offline for one hour, while Midnight servers are scheduled to be offline for two hours.

Coming early next year, WoW Midnight patch 12.2 heralds the start of the third (and, given the past couple expansions, likely final) content season for this expansion.

It was easy to miss among the other cool announcements at the Midnight What's Next panel at BlizzCon 2026, but as patch 12.2 Eclipse sends us hurtling towards a final confrontation with Xal'atath, we're going to be bringing more Light-wielders with us -- a lot more.

There's been a lot of buzz around the announcement of World of Warcraft: Forever, Blizzard's take on the long-rumored Classic+ that expands on the Season of Discovery model.
