World of Warcraft
Here’s what to expect from the World of Warcraft: Midnight alpha, kicking off on October 2

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft: Midnight’s new intro cinematic is overflowing with elves and their abnormally long eyebrows

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft: The War Within’s last major patch before Midnight drops early August, and it’s time to go into space again

World of Warcraft
WoW’s Legion Remix won’t make you choose between transmogs and gear—adds harder world content, Mythic+ style dungeons, and enough cool stuff to make me almost forget about Mage Tower

World of Warcraft
A new WoW event boosts ultra-rare item drop rates tenfold, which admittedly isn’t a huge difference when the starting number is 0.5%

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft: Midnight will introduce a ‘Prey’ system, and by jove, I think Blizzard might be close to fixing the MMO’s open-world difficulty problem

World of Warcraft
WoW devs want to ‘step back’ from the ‘world-ending’ stakes where you get called a pitiful mortal lots, and back to quests like ‘oats for Blanchy’—presumably without sending the horse to hell afterwards

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft’s player housing won’t lock out casual players: ‘We’re not gonna put a beautiful bookcase behind killing a raid boss’

World of Warcraft
After disappointing fans with a time-grated grind in beta, Blizzard turned WoW Legion Remix around just in time for its October release

World of Warcraft
WoW’s player housing feature will have an import function, letting you save and share houses—and potentially furnishings—with each other

World of Warcraft
WoW continues to eat FF14’s lunch with its housing system on paper—says it’ll just make more neighbourhoods if they’re full, and you can have private guild ones, too

World of Warcraft
Blizzard promises to add ‘speed, power, and fun’ back to WoW Legion Remix after disappointing players with a time-gated grind

World of Warcraft
WoW players are losing their minds over a 19-quest long chain about bees, and while it is a bit much, I remember far worse

Diablo 4’s old and forgotten dungeons will be renovated into loot-packed marathons that culminate with a duel against a familiar boss in its next season

World of Warcraft: Midnight

World of Warcraft: Midnight’s collector’s edition lets you own the Dark Heart, but please don’t use this void relic to resurrect an all-devouring shadow god

Seems like a risky collector’s item.

World of Warcraft: Midnight is on the horizon, and you know what that means: the time to throw money at an ostentatious collector’s edition is almost upon us.

Conveniently, Blizzard has just revealed what Midnight’s fanciest edition contains, and while I’m not vibing with it as much as I did with The War Within’s, there’s some cool stuff in here.
Here’s what you’ll get:

It looks like there will be other bits and bobs, too, including 2000 Trader’s Tender, which you can splash out with on the trading post, and a boost to level 80. The digital items will also be available in the cheaper epic edition, so the draw of the collector’s edition is all the physical items.
WoW’s art books are always great, and I still have a few of them sitting on my shelf, but for this expansion the highlight is probably the Dark Heart replica. I wouldn’t mind owning one myself, but I don’t think it holds a candle to the mighty Gryphon Rider statue from The War Within’s 20th anniversary collector’s edition.
You’ll be able to preorder the collector’s edition from October 1 via the Blizzard Gear Store in the US, where it’ll set you back a not-insignificant $140. In Europe, meanwhile, you’ll be able to get it via regional retailers.
