Blizzard has posted the class changes going live on August 18 alongside Midnight Season 2. The big cuts land on tier bonuses: Devourer Demon Hunter drops from 8 soul fragments to 2, and Arcane Mage loses nearly all of its 2-piece.
The patch landed on schedule in World of Warcraft: Midnight with Coiled Isle, three new delves, the Altar of Fangs dungeon at Mythic 0 and housing blueprints. The raid, Mythic+ and the Prey season wait until August 18.
At Gen Con 2026, Dungeons & Dragons made official a full World of Warcraft book built with Blizzard. It arrives November 17 as the first title in the Universes Beyond initiative, bringing Azeroth back to the tabletop after two decades.
Blizzard has locked in the cycle: Patch 12.1 Curse of Ula'tek goes live on August 11, with Season 2 opening a week later on the 18th.
Blizzard set a date: Phase 3 of Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary lands August 27 with the Black Temple, Mount Hyjal, Epic Gems and Arena Season 3.
Blizzard has confirmed that Midnight Season 1 is ending soon —no date yet— and with it go achievements, mounts, and titles that will stop being obtainable. Here's what to wrap up before the cutoff.
The scandal the community had been tracking is over: Blizzard confirmed it fired the employee who used the dev-only Death Touch spell to kill bosses in a +23 key, and announced it is actioning the complicit players too.
Tuning for all 13 classes, rewritten tier sets, The Venomous Abyss in testing and more housing: the Curse of Ula'tek PTR moved half a patch in one week. Here's everything build 68629 left behind.
