World of Warcraft has officially launched its next expansion.
After early access ended on March 2, World of Warcraft: Midnight is now live worldwide for all players following today’s weekly reset.
The Worldsoul Saga continues with a return to Quel’Thalas, where a Void invasion led by Xal’atath threatens Silvermoon and beyond.
Here’s what is now live in Midnight.
Level Cap Raised to 90
Midnight increases the level cap to 90.
Players begin in a fully revamped Silvermoon City, now functioning as a shared hub for both Horde and Alliance. From there, the campaign moves through:

Voidstorm hellscape
After the opening arc, players can choose branching story paths, giving the leveling experience more flexibility than recent expansions.

Unlocking them requires completing the Silvermoon introduction and the Harandar campaign.
