The long-awaited release date for the World of Warcraft: Midnight has finally been announced, with players able to enjoysome new features even sooner through early access.
World of Warcraft: Midnight’s opening cinematic was revealed at Gamescom to raise excitement, and players know now exactly how long they must wait until the expansion can be enjoyed.
World of Warcraft: Midnight Releases March 2
Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft: Midnight will be released worldwide on March 2, 2026, at 3 PM PST—which means that for some players in the world, the release date will be in the morning of March 3.
While there is still a little while to wait to enjoy everything that Midnight has to offer, players who have purchased any edition of the expansion can secure Housing Early Access next week, from December 2.
With the release of ‘The Warning’ Midnight Prologue content update, players who have purchased the Midnight expansion can join a neighborhood, choose a house, and begin customizing their new home during Housing Early Access.
Those without Midnight purchased can begin to add to their Housing collection through activities and achievements, however, which will be waiting for when you pull the trigger on the expansion and are ready to settle down into a humble abode.
Housing Early Access won’t provide everything there is to offer, however, with the available items described as a “limited selection before the full suite of options arrives with the launch of the expansion.”
