WoW

It's time to race through the skies of our favorite shattered planet, with this year's Outland Cup rewards including some dazzling red-and-gold transmog options.

Both Skyriding and steady flight return as travel options in World of Warcraft: Midnight, but Skyriding is available almost immediately — just after you finish the introductory quest chain — and will be the main method players will rely on for travel during their first Midnight campaign playthrough.

Mark your calendars, World of Warcraft players -- whether you've just joined the fun or you've been along for the ride since the beginning, the next chapter of Azeroth's story, Midnight, will have its Early Access go live at 3pm pacific (6pm eastern) on February 26.

To celebrate the release of Midnight, there's a pair of new Twitch Drops to earn in World of Warcraft: the Cuddly Alliance Blue Grrgle and Cuddly Horde Red Grrgle!

The World of Warcraft clock is about to strike Midnight, and the heroes of Azeroth are being summoned to defend their world against the encroaching darkness -- better mount up on an appropriately yellow and glowing steed before riding into battle.

Here we are again, on the doorstep of another World of Warcraft expansion -- what do you have planned for the first time you log in to Midnight to answer Lady Liadrin's call and defend the Sunwell from swirling purple monsters from beyond?

This March is the last World of Warcraft Trading Post for The War Within expansion and naturally to help you gear up for the return to Silvermoon City when Midnight launches on March 2, 2026, the Trading Post is rolling out a variety of Elf themed items.

In the weeks leading up to the launch of World of Warcraft's newest expansion, Midnight, we've gotten a peek into the trials and tribulations of some of the important characters we know play a role in the expansion -- first Xal'atath, the instigator of the whole expansion, then Lady Liadrin, the very first character we see in Midnight's cinematic.

It looks like we'll be able to complete a simple, repeatable neighborly quest in Midnight to earn some powerful rewards each week.

It's a lightning fast World of Warcraft maintenance this morning, or at least we hope it is.
