From the State of Azeroth presentation, given by Blizzard on January 29, 2026, we finally know the WoW Midnight Roadmap 2026. As well as roadmaps for The Burning Crusade Anniversary and for Mists of Pandaria Classic.
As you can see, we are expecting three Midnight patches before September 12, the BlizzCon date: 12.0.5, 12.0.7, and 12.1. And two more patches before the end of 2026.
