The official launch is March 2nd.
Still from a World of Warcraft: Midnight cinematic of a warrior engulfed in flames.

I missed this one on Thursday because the announcement came in a little late and I took Friday off because I was sick*. World of Warcraft fans probably already know, but the Early Access release of World of Warcraft: Midnight began on Thursday, February 26!

This Early Access is available to everyone that picked up the physical collector's edition of the game as well as those that bought the Midnight Epic Edition online. This Early Access will let players play through story content and new zones as they work their way to the new level cap of 90.

Most of the game's new endgame systems will only come online after the official global launch on March 2.

What’s Available in Early Access:
  • Level up to 90
  • All Reimagined and New Zones: Eversong Woods, Zul’Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm.
  • World Quests
  • Renown Tracks
  • Housing and Endeavors
  • Delves tiers 1-7
  • Dungeons: Normal and Heroic difficulty
  • Prey: Normal Difficulty
Please note that dungeon unlocks will work a little differently in Midnight. As you level through the storyline on your first character through each of the zones, you’ll encounter quests that tie into the ongoing narrative. Alternatively, all dungeons also become available at level 90 whether these quests have been completed or not. Finding and undertaking the associated quests for each dungeon allows players the opportunity to get into dungeons a little sooner should they choose.​
[quote]The celebration for Midnight’s launch spans across Blizzard as players can earn new rewards in other games for jumping in and completing the Midnight introduction questline and earning the “Echoes of Midnight” achievement. These rewards include:
  • Overwatch: Devourer Genji skin
  • Heroes of the Storm: Crimson War Bear mount
  • Diablo IV: Bawkhaus (a chicken in house pet)
  • Diablo Immortal: Harbinger of Darkness pet
Those looking to wrap up activities as part of the Twilight Ascension pre-expansion update event will be able to do so until Midnight launches globally on March 2.
