Blizzard Entertainment has officially confirmed that World of Warcraft will make a grand appearance at Gamescom 2025, scheduled from August 20 to 24. The event will take place at the renowned Koelnmesse exhibition center in Cologne, Germany, where fans can explore Hall 8 to experience exclusive Midnight expansion content.

The highly anticipated World of Warcraft: Midnight marks the second chapter in the Worldsoul Saga, continuing the narrative after the Ghosts of K'aresh update. This new content will transport players to the enigmatic Ethereal homeworld, where they'll confront Dimensius the All-Devouring - a colossal Void entity responsible for K'aresh's destruction. The expansion's storyline will directly tie into these events, with an expected winter release window.

Gamescom attendees can look forward to multiple engaging activities at the World of Warcraft booth, including:

• Live cosplay exhibitions
• Mythic Dungeon and Arena demonstrations
• Developer meet-and-greet sessions

For players unable to attend in person, Blizzard has assured that all major announcements will be simultaneously shared across official social media channels. This includes potential reveals about closed testing phases and the final release timeline for Midnight.

One of Midnight's most exciting features is the introduction of player housing, currently in active development. Subscribers will gain access to customizable homes, with furnishings obtainable through various methods:

• Completing legacy dungeon and raid achievements
• Purchasing from vendors across Azeroth
• Special event rewards
