Patch 12.1

We've got the details for what's coming next in Midnight with patch 12.0.7, and that means it's time to speculate on where we'll be adventuring for the first major content update of the expansion: patch 12.1.

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.
