Blizzard Entertainment has officially announced World of Warcraft: Midnight, marking the exciting second installment in the ambitious Worldsoul Saga trilogy. Following the successful reveal at Gamescom Opening Night Live, players can now secure their pre-orders for this highly anticipated expansion through three distinct editions, each packed with exclusive digital rewards and premium content.

The expansion reveal formed part of Gamescom's prestigious opening ceremony, placing World of Warcraft among the convention's most prominent showcases. Midnight continues the narrative established in The War Within, delving deeper into the cosmic conflict between Light and Void forces that threatens the very soul of Azeroth.

Although World of Warcraft: Midnight isn't scheduled for release until early next year, dedicated fans can immediately claim various expansion benefits through pre-purchase. Battle.net currently offers three edition tiers: Base ($50), Heroic ($70), and Epic ($90), each providing progressively more exclusive content and premium rewards.

The Base Edition includes access to all current World of Warcraft expansions through The War Within plus the upcoming Midnight content. Pre-order customers also receive an Enhanced Level 80 Character Boost, early access to the revolutionary Player Housing system, and 500 Trader's Tender for cosmetic purchases.

Stepping up to the Heroic Edition provides everything from the Base package while adding the magnificent Lightwing Dragonhawk flying mount, the elegant Lightstrider Raiment transmog set, and an additional 500 Trader's Tender, bringing the total to 1000.

The premium Epic Edition delivers the ultimate collector's experience with all previous rewards plus the Voidwing Dragonhawk and Voidlight Surger mounts, the striking Voidstrider Raiment transmog set, both Hopeflutter and Doomfeathers companion pets, and a substantial 2000 Trader's Tender. Additionally, Epic Edition purchasers receive exclusive housing decorations including Light-Infused and Void-Corrupted Rotunda and Fountain pieces, along with portrait paintings of major lore characters Alleria, Turalyon, Arator, and Xal'atath. This top-tier package also guarantees beta access, three-day early expansion access, and 30 days of game time.

Players who pre-order any edition will immediately receive their cosmetic items, mounts, pets, Trader's Tender, and Character Boost. The exclusive housing decorations will become available with the launch of Patch 11.2.7, which will introduce the highly anticipated Player Housing system to World of Warcraft. While specific dates for the Midnight beta and early access periods haven't been announced, Blizzard typically reveals these details several months before expansion launches.

Although the Gamescom opening ceremony has concluded, the convention continues with numerous World of Warcraft panels scheduled throughout the event. Fans can expect additional Midnight revelations and likely information about the upcoming Patch 11.2.5 in the coming days as developers share more about this next chapter in Azeroth's evolving story.
