Midnight

Have you ever looked at your front lawn and thought "gee, a portal to a nether dimension would look lovely next to my Azaleas" in Player Housing?

Continuing on a trend of transparency that started prior to Dragonflight, the World of Warcraft team today gave us a look at a 2026 roadmap that shows both the expected cadence of Midnight's content patches, as well as some new and exciting features and game modes and the return of an older feature that we haven't seen outside of a single experiment during Battle for Azeroth.

One of the most exciting pieces of news arriving in today's 2026 State of Azeroth content update for World of Warcraft was Labyrinths, a new, bigger format for Delves.

We knew transmog changes were coming with World of Warcraft Midnight on the horizon, but we didn't expect it to be quite so traumatic.

Blizzard has given us all an early weekend gift with the release of a new Warcraft short story: The Void Between by Alex Acks, which revolves around former Magister Umbric and Grand Magister Rommath.

A recently added currency on the Midnight beta will seemingly allow players to accelerate their lumber-harvesting efforts in order to craft more Player Housing decor items.

The Midnight pre-patch marks the removal or sunsetting of many addons from World of Warcraft.

There's nothing Blizzard loves more than adding another currency to World of Warcraft, and housing is no exception: Community Coupons are a new Player Housing-specific currency that you'll find in the currency tab under the Miscellaneous category.

As a self-confessed Player Housing main now, I'm looking forward to the coming Neighborhood Endeavors feature due to released with the Midnight pre-patch.

It's a big week for World of Warcraft maintenance as the Midnight pre-patch finally hits live realms.
