We're about to get a lot more official information on World of Warcraft: Midnight with an impending deep dive broadcast, but it seems Blizzard can't keep the biggest details locked down. A new leak suggests that the expansion will be released in late February, alongside a physical Collector's Edition.

Midnight will be released on February 26, 2026, according to reliable leaker billbil-kun posting on Dealabs.

As with other World of Warcraft expansions, Midnight will get a Collector's Edition. The report, via machine translation, suggests that it will include a "Midnight Hardcover Artbook," "Midnight Collector Pin," and "Dark Heart Replica," and will be priced at €139.99 in Europe. That would translate to about $164 USD, but there's no telling how Blizzard might price it in the US given the current global economic situation.

With the leak appearing now, I think it's safe to expect the official reveal of the Collector's Edition and confirmation of the release date to come very soon – likely on October 1, when Blizzard will run its Deep Dive broadcast on the expansion ahead of the start of the alpha on October 2. You can get more details on that via the official website.

World of Warcraft has always asked us to call Azeroth home, but Midnight's new player housing is the first time you'll have one to call your own – and it's the best feature to come to the MMO in years.
