Developer Blizzard Entertainment has revealed that World of Warcraft: Midnight pre-expansion patch will be kicking off on January 20. Players can explore the new User Interface (UI) updates, experiment with new combat design changes across all classes, walk the path of the Demon Hunter Devourer, and more.
World of Warcraft: Midnight – Pre-Expansion Patch Includes:
- New Demon Hunter Specialization—Devourer. Focuses on the use of the Void instead of the Fel, operates from mid-range with the full mobility you’d expect from a DH. Additionally, DHs get a new Hero Talent tree: Annihilator.
- New Race and Class Combination: Void Elf Demon Hunters. This option will be unlockable though a short quest line as a part of the Midnight pre-expansion content update, along with the Devourer specialization.
- Class Combat Design Updates – every class and spec in WoW receives major design updates.
- Stat and Item Squish. Numbers across the game are being reduced to improve clarity and readability.
- User Interface Updates. The User Interface is introducing powerful new features, improved customization options, cleaner raid frames, expanding display-scaling controls and more.
- Transmogrification Updates. Learn more about Transmog 2.0 and everything it introduces!
- Player vs. Player (PvP) Training Grounds.
- Housing Early Access.
- Pre-expansion event & Winds of Mysterious Fortune Returns. The week of January 27, the pre-expansion event gets underway making it the perfect time to try out the new class changes. The Winds of Mysterious Fortune buff also returns, offering all adventurers a chance to reap bonus experience from level 10-79. Catch up on your alts, finish missed content and unlocks, and prepare for the launch of Midnight.
