WoW: Midnight launches March 2, with early access on February 26 and Season 1 raids starting March 17
Blizzard has locked in the rollout dates for World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Midnight. According to the official post, early access begins Thursday, February 26 for Epic Edition owners, with the full worldwide launch following on March 2.
Alongside that, Blizzard also laid out the first season raid schedule. Season 1 raiding starts March 17, with Voidspire and Dreamrift opening first across the initial set of difficulty options, then expanding with additional unlocks week by week. The March on Quel’Danas raid is slated to join the rotation by the end of March.
Delves are getting a clear timeline too. Blizzard says Midnight will ship with 10 delves total, but two won’t be available right away: The Darkway opens March 24, and Parhelion Plaza follows on March 31. This time, players will be paired with Valeera (the Blood Elf rogue) while tackling delves that include outdoor areas and different story variants.
One smaller (and very modern) addition: a new in-game “Pin-o-Matic Camera” option that lets players share housing photos directly to Pinterest.
