World of Warcraft at BlizzCon 2026: Midnight: Eclipse, The Last Titan, and World of Warcraft: Forever announced

World of Warcraft Midnight: Eclipse Revealed

Blizzard has revealed Eclipse, the next major content update for Midnight. Players face Xal'atath as she comes within reach of her ultimate objective, the Worldsoul. With Azeroth's fate at stake, players must confront her directly and stop her from claiming victory.

The events of Eclipse unfold in the worldcore and set the stage for a revelation and conflict that carry the Worldsoul Saga toward its final chapter in The Last Titan.

The Final Chapter Begins in The Last Titan

Blizzard describes The Last Titan as more than a return to Northrend, framing it as a reflection on generations of courage and sacrifice across Azeroth, from the Shifting Sands of Ahn'Qiraj and the Frozen Throne to the Worldbreaker, the Burning Legion, and the realms beyond life and death.

As Azeroth calls on its heroes one last time, Blizzard says more will be revealed early next year, after the events of Midnight: Eclipse.

Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom Now Live

For the first time in more than two decades, a new campaign has arrived in Warcraft III: Reforged. Forsaken Kingdom follows the fall of Lordaeron and its transformation into the Undercity, introducing new faces alongside familiar figures such as Sylvanas. The campaign is live now and playable on the show floor at BlizzCon.

A Deep Dive panel at 3:30 p.m. PDT takes a closer look at the design and what is in store.

Purchase Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom

Forsaken Kingdom is a new campaign that begins in the ruins of Lordaeron and leads into the first days of World of Warcraft. Players step into the untold story of the Forsaken as Lordaeron's fallen break free of the Scourge, fight beneath the surface of their former kingdom, establish a foothold in the Undercity, and make choices that echo into the era of World of Warcraft: Forever.

The campaign is available now on the Battle.net Shop, either on its own or through options including the Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom Combo and the limited-time Warcraft Forever Collection. It includes a prologue, three story chapters, a neutral Forsaken Paladin hero unit, and new story content bridging the fall of Lordaeron with a new era in Azeroth.

World of Warcraft: Forever Announced

World of Warcraft: Forever launches November 4, with beta beginning Thursday, September 17. Blizzard positions it as a new permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW, inviting past, current, and new players into a reimagined Azeroth where community comes first and the journey matters as much as the destination.

Set after the events of Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom and before Molten Core, Forever lets players return to the original continents, adventure to level 60, and continue progressing through new stories, experiences, and updates inspired by years of player feedback.

A Deep Dive panel for World of Warcraft: Forever streams Sunday, September 13 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, covering the philosophy, systems, and design choices behind the reimagined Azeroth.
