Midnight

Folks who'd been hoping for a new World of Warcraft animation like the Harbingers and Warbringers series that predated Legion and Battle for Azeroth respectively finally got a little something today to whet their appetites: a Xal'atath-focused animation, subtitled "Supremecy." Seemingly set sometime between the end of the Manaforge Omega raid and the beginning of Midnight, this animation shows Xal'atath winning over "loyal, tractable" servant Nexus-King Salhadaar by wielding something very unusual for her: the truth.

The new Midnight transmog system is here, and navigating the user interface can be a bit tricky -- luckily, we're here to give you a rundown on exactly how to use it so you can look your Sunday best while you adjust to the rest of the patch 12.0 update.

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 brand new Midnight currency will allow players to accelerate their lumber-gatheringing 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.
