Blizzard Entertainment World of Warcraft: Midnight

World of Warcraft: Midnight marks the second chapter of the World Soul Saga. Midnight draws us into Azeroth’s darkest hour, yet also into the warmth of its hearth-lit homes. It is a story of contrasts: Light and Dark, nostalgia and discovery, the pull of family against the weight of legacy, all poised between the chill of encroaching night and the promise of a new dawn.

WoW’s artists summoned boundless creativity to bring this world to life. They reimagined the iconic realms of Eversong Woods, Silvermoon City, and Zul’Aman; illuminated the subterranean wonders of Harandar; and revealed a dimension shaped by the insatiable hunger of the Void Storm. Within this handcrafted world, players were invited to join in the act of creation, building homes and sanctuaries throughout Razorwind Shores and Founders Point.

As you explore the art below, you’ll see that World of Warcraft’s artists are an exceptional guild of master craftspeople. They’ve transformed Midnight’s defining tensions into a world that feels alive, forging new lands and reforging old, summoning creatures and characters with soul, shaping encounters, both epic and intimate, and designing the interfaces that connect players to this special world.

Thanks for taking a look – there’s much to come past Midnight!
