World of Warcraft: Midnight may be live, but the real endgame race hasn’t started yet.
Blizzard has confirmed that Season 1 begins March 17, unlocking raids, Mythic+, and the full competitive PvE ladder.
Here’s what opens — and what’s available right now.
What Unlocks on March 17
Season 1 officially activates:
-
First Midnight raid
-
Mythic+ dungeons
-
Great Vault progression
-
Full PvP season
-
Rated rewards
This marks the true start of the competitive cycle for the expansion.
Guilds are already preparing for the first raid race, and Mythic+ push groups are planning routes based on preseason dungeon tuning.
What’s Live Right Now
Although Season 1 hasn’t started yet, players can already access:
-
Level 90 progression
-
8 new dungeons
-
Mythic 0 preseason
-
10 new Delves
-
Nemesis Delve featuring Valeera
-
Player housing
-
Prey hunts and new systems
Mythic 0 dungeons unlocked after today’s reset, but weekly lockouts remain active until Season 1 begins.
Why Blizzard Delays Season Launch
Blizzard typically separates expansion launch and Season 1 start to:
-
Allow players to level and gear
-
Stabilize servers
-
Apply early hotfixes
-
Give casual players time to catch up
This staggered structure has become standard for modern WoW expansions.
Preparing for Season 1
If you're planning to raid or push Mythic+, now is the time to:
-
Finish campaign
-
Unlock Haranir (if desired)
-
Gear through Heroics and Mythic 0
-
Learn dungeon routes
-
Test new class rotations and Apex talents
March 17 will be here quickly.
The Real Midnight Race Starts Soon
Launch week is about exploration.
Season 1 is about competition.
With raid progression, Mythic+ keys, and PvP ratings unlocking March 17, the next two weeks are about preparation — and building the strongest possible start.
