01 Overview

World of Warcraft: Midnight is Blizzard's most ambitious expansion since Legion. Returning to Quel'Thalas — the sunlit home of the Blood Elves now plunged into eternal night — it delivers a story-driven levelling experience that feels genuinely cinematic, a radically redesigned endgame loop, and the best class reworks in years.

"Midnight makes WoW feel alive again in a way that hasn't been true since 2016. The world design is extraordinary."

The new Void-corrupted zones are visually staggering — Gothic spires, spectral forests, starless skies that feel oppressive and beautiful simultaneously. The new Hero Talent trees add real build depth. For active WoW subscribers, this is an essential purchase at any price. At $34.80 on Kinguin it's an obvious buy.
