World of Warcraft developers are expecting big things from the game's upcoming Midnight expansion, which will finally bring housing to the two-decades-old MMO once it launches in full on March 2, 2026. Since the housing early access period began December 2, some WoW fans are already getting cozy with what promises to be a highly customizable experience, but Midnight's creators think the expansion could be even more important than that.
"I think Midnight really has the potential to be our best expansion ever," WoW game director Ion Hazzikostas tells ScreenRant in a new interview. "I can't wait for people to experience the full stakes of the story and to see millions of people unleashed upon housing and all the rest. So yeah, I think before that, my high-water mark is probably Legion," the transformative expansion that launched in 2016. But Hazzikostas maintains that Midnight is exemplary: "I think this one can top it."
