World of Warcraft The War Within is nearing it's end, and it feels surreal that this will be the last season before the Midnight DLC.
Now, Blizzard has announced the public beta for Midnight, and we're going to run over all that will be playable for players to test out.
Here's what we know.
World of Warcraft Midnight Beta: What's included? Answered
WoW Midnight has been fully revealed during Gamescom 2025, and it looks promising with the additions of Housing and the return to Quel'Thalas.
The beta is for the general public to test out the new class changes, zones, and so much more that will be coming to Fortnite. But, players will either need to get lucky after they opt into the beta, or pre-order Midnight itself.
In terms of what's included, Blizzard has noted the following:
New systems, the complete leveling experience, zones, dungeons, delves, Housing, and the new playable Haranir and Devourer Demon Hunter are all available in the beta. Raid testing will come at a later time. As with the alpha test, we’ll be adding content through the initial weeks and running focused tests as needed. Keep an eye on the test forums for more information.
