The second part of the Worldsoul Saga for World of Warcraft is almost ready for public testing. World of Warcraft: Midnight will have a beta test begin on November 11, 2025.
This beta test will be accessible for those that have pre-purchased or upgrade to the Epic Edition of Midnight as well as those who are randomly selected from the beta opt-in from the World of Warcraft: Midnight website (check the top right corner of the page).
There will be several rounds of invitations sent out for those who opt-in for the beta. There is no guarantee that you will be selected but it at least means there's still a chance you will get in later. The only guaranteed way to get in is to purchase the Epic Edition
For the beta, players will get to experience some of the upcoming expansion features. These include:
- Level-up quest campaigns
- Exploring the newly revamped Everson Woods and Silvermoon City player hub (and other zones)
- Prey system
- Haranir allied race
- Raid boss testing (coming later in the beta)
- Blizzard wants to capture feedback on new combat and encounter tools
