At Gamescom 2025, the much-anticipated Midnight expansion for World of Warcraft was finally unveiled in all its glory, with two captivating trailers premiered during the Opening Night Live event.
During their presentation, Blizzard Entertainment provides gamers with an in-depth exploration of previously announced gameplay aspects such as the Player Housing system, while also offering a glimpse into the game’s narrative.
Primarily, the gameplay trailer offers a sneak peek into numerous exciting additions such as fresh zones, dungeons, outdoor activities, a novel playable race, and a new specialization for the Demon Hunter class, among other things.
Additionally, the presentation discloses that the new PC game is set to release in the year 2026.
Here’s everything announced for World of Warcraft: Midnight from this presentation.
The opening of the presentation features a dramatic scene depicting Xal’atath, the primary adversary in World of Warcraft, leading an horde of nightmarish Void Walkers as they assault the city of Silvermoon.
Xal’atath aims to seize control of the city’s radiant, vital Sunwell in order to utilize its energy to rejuvenate her plans for damaging Azeroth’s Worldsoul, which she encountered difficulties with during the occurrences of World of Warcraft: The War Within.
To achieve victory against Xal’altath and safeguard the Sunwell in this development, the player must forge a powerful alliance by uniting the Elven races of Azeroth with the forces of Light.
Following the end of the movie-like trailer, Blizzard Entertainment unveiled a gameplay highlights trailer for World of Warcraft: Midnight on their YouTube channel, demonstrating all the fresh gameplay elements included in the expansion.
These new main features include, but are not limited to:
- A deeper look into Player Housing — showing off all the locations we can build our homes at and the accessories we can decorate them with.
- Several new Zones to explore— Eversong Woods, Harandar, Voidstorm, and Zul’Amon.
- Silvermoon City revamped — complete with new graphical details and structures.
- New Dungeons — Den of Nalorakk, Maisara Caverns, Nexus Point Xenas, Voidscar Arena, Blinding Vale, Windrunner Spire, Magister’s Terrace, and Murder Row.
- New Delves — Den of Echoes, Parhelion Plaza, Collegiate Calamity, The Shadow Enclave, Shadowguard Point, Sunkiller Sanctum, and Torment’s Rise.
- New Raids — The Voidspire (six-boss raid), The Dreamfrift (cinematic one-boss raid), and The March on Quel’Danas (cinematic two-boss raid).
- A new playable race called the Haranir — a group of batlike humanoids that debuted in World of Warcraft: The War Within.
- A new Class Specialization for the Demon Hunter class called Devourer — Devourer Demon Hunters channel the power of the Void instead of the Fel to unleash a barrage of mid-range attacks like Void-empowered scythe strikes, Void Ray blasts, and throwing black holes at enemies.
- A new race/class combo — To accommodate the Devourer Demon Hunter Spec, player Void Elves can now become Demon Hunters alongside player Blood Elves and Night Elves.
- Prey — A new outdoor activity where you will be tasked with hunting down unique boss monsters in the open world at multiple difficulty levels for lucrative rewards such as cosmetic gear, mounts, titles, and Player Housing items.
- Training Grounds (PVP)— A new PVP mode that will help players practice their skills against NPCs before going into battle against real players.
- Slayer’s Rise (PVP) — An Alterac Valley-inspired, PVP hotspot in the Voidstorm Zone where players fight to destroy enemy bases before defeating their respective opponent’s Domanaar commander.
I can’t wait to blast enemies to dust with the new Devourer Demon Hunter Spec

I’m really thrilled about all the fresh gameplay details for World of Warcraft: Midnight! The new zones are stunning, the player housing is shaping up nicely, and the new Haranir race seems incredibly fierce and intriguing to control.
The standout feature among my favorite announcements for new gameplay details is undeniably the introduction of the new Devourer Spec for Demon Hunters.
Since their introduction in World of Warcraft: Legion back in 2016, Demon Hunters have been unique among all classes for boasting two distinct Specializations, namely Havoc and Vengeance.





In case you’re not familiar, Specs in World of Warcraft enable a character to focus on specific areas within their class. At present, most classes offer three specializations, except for Druids with four and Demon Hunters with just two.
In simpler terms, Havoc was a close-quarter damage dealer specialized in wielding Warglaives, causing significant harm to enemies, whereas Vengeance served as a tank, provoking hostility from enemies using dark Fel magic.
The fresh Devourer Specialization, conversely, predominantly offers moderate damage output similar to magical classes such as Mages and Evokers, while also boasting the exceptional agility and mobility features characteristic of Demon Hunters. In essence, it introduces a unique gameplay approach by merging these distinct characteristics.
The stunning appeal of the Demon Hunter class has me eager to give it a go, since I haven’t had the chance to play this role before, mainly because of the restricted number of Specialization options they offer.
As Legion Remix approaches, this could be an ideal moment for me to try out the Demon Hunter class in advance, before World of Warcraft: Midnight officially launches in 2026.
