World of Warcraft Fans: Get Ready for the Midnight Expansion at Gamescom 2025
Blizzard has announced that World of Warcraft will be attending Gamescom 2025 from August 20 to 24, where it will be revealing more details about the upcoming Midnight expansion. The announcement was made on June 23, and fans of the game are eagerly awaiting further information about the latest chapter in the Worldsoul Saga.
World of Warcraft: Midnight is the second planned chapter of the Worldsoul Saga and will begin shortly after the events of the upcoming Ghosts of K'aresh content update. This update will take players to the home world of the mysterious Ethereals, where they will face the return of Dimensius the All-Devouring, a gargantuan Void entity that caused K'aresh's downfall and has chosen Azeroth as its next target. Players will be tasked with stopping Dimensius beforehand, and the events of Ghosts of K'aresh and subsequent patches will have an impact on the Midnight expansion, which is currently scheduled to arrive this winter at the earliest.
At Gamescom 2025, World of Warcraft will have a booth in Hall 8 of the Koelnmesse exhibition center, where attendees can peruse various activities such as a cosplay showcase, Mythic Dungeon and Arena showcases, and a chance to meet with some of the game's developers. For those unable to attend the event, Blizzard has confirmed that any news about Midnight will also be posted on social media.
One of the biggest features of World of Warcraft: Midnight is player housing, which will be available to all World of Warcraft subscribers once Midnight's launch window arrives. Blizzard has previously stated that some furnishings can be earned by completing legacy achievements from older dungeons and raids, and some can simply be bought from vendors scattered throughout Azeroth and beyond.
World of Warcraft joins other major gaming giants like Pokemon in attending Gamescom, which has become one of the largest gaming expos of its kind in the West. It remains to be seen what Blizzard will show ahead of Midnight's imminent launch, but fans are excited to learn more about this highly anticipated expansion.
