World of Warcraft's Midnight expansion is coming early next year, and it's reimagining an often forgotten part of old Azeroth to look and feel brand new--the Blood Elf lands of Quel'thalas.Blizzard threw back the veil on WoW's 11th expansion, the second in its three-expansion-long Worldsoul Saga trilogy, at Gamescom 2025.
