Blizzard Watch

It's been a quiet holiday week in the US, which means news has been a little thin as everyone scatters for the holidays.

We're one week farther into 2025 which means we're one week closer to Player Housing, which hits early access on December 2.

I can stop staring at the login screen any time I want.

There's not much longer to wait for the Midnight beta to launch, but if you're waiting for the latest news about Midnight (and/or player housing), you may as well catch up on last week's news first.

Here at Blizzard Watch, the staff has been abuzz about Midnight ever since it was announced, but this week we're a little more abuzz because the beta test was just announced — and that brings us one step closer to launch.

We're in the midst of a busy PTR season with both WoW and Diablo 4 running test realms right now — though Diablo's is only running for a few more days — which makes this weekend a great time to test out new game features.

Player housing continues to dominate our thoughts and dreams, as the entire Blizzard Watch team jumped onto the PTR to playtest housing as a group.

What a week it has been my friends, with the World of Warcraft Midnight alpha continuing to add content and Legion Remix launching.

With Midnight news everywhere, it's a big week in Warcraft...

This is the best week of the year.
