About World of Warcraft: Midnight
According to Blizzard Entertainment, the next expansion sends players back into the heart of Quel’thalas. This time around, the Voidstorm looms over the elven kingdom. Xal’atath leads a devastating invasion that puts Azeroth in grave danger. Now, players need to reach level 90 and go to four new zones to uncover the threat and find allies. Everyone begins the expansion in Eversong Woods. From there, they will choose among three paths to further shape their journey. Specifically, players can decide whether to move forward with Arator, Harandar, or Zul’Aman.
This next chapter also introduces the Haranir. It is a new allied race available to the Alliance or the Horde. Likewise, the Haranir will be able to play as follows:
- Druid
- Hunter
- Mage
- Monk
- Priest
- Rogue

At the same time, players can unlock the Devourer. It is the third specialization for Demon Hunters. On top of this, Midnight also adds new delves, dungeons, and raids.
