Ahead of its worldwide simultaneous release on March 3 (KST), Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft has kicked off Early Access today (February 27) for World of Warcraft: Midnight (hereafter Midnight), the next chapter in the Worldsoul Saga.
Players will stand against Xal’atath and a Void-born devouring legion as they launch an offensive against Azeroth with the aim of extinguishing the Sunwell, the most powerful source of Light in Azeroth. By exploring new and revamped zones, players can reach the new level cap of 90. Most endgame content will be rolled out sequentially after Midnight’s global launch. Anyone who owns the Midnight Epic Edition can experience Midnight first starting today through Early Access.
In addition, to celebrate the launch of the Midnight expansion, in-game events will be held across Blizzard titles. If you complete Midnight’s introductory questline and earn the Echoes of Midnight achievement, you can receive the following rewards:
-
Overwatch: Devourer Genji skin
-
Heroes of the Storm: Crimson War Bear mount
-
Diablo IV: Bawkhaus (a chicken-in-the-house–themed pet)
-
Diablo Immortal: Harbinger of Darkness pet
A Drops event is also being held alongside the start of Early Access. Through 2:00 a.m. on March 25 (KST), viewers who watch at least 4 hours of streams in the World of Warcraft: Midnight category on CHZZK will receive, on a first-come, first-served basis, the housing décor items Cute Alliance Blue Grrgle and Cute Horde Red Grrgle.
The “Twilight Ascension” Pre-Update Event, which has been running alongside the pre-patch since January 29, will continue through Midnight’s worldwide simultaneous release date of March 3.
Meanwhile, to commemorate Midnight’s release, an offline community event for Korean fans titled “Home Sweet Home” will be held tomorrow (February 28) at Stage X Seongsu Chabot in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. The event will feature a variety of content, including hands-on programs themed around Midnight’s Housing system, a photo zone, and a World of Warcraft developer signing session.
