World of Warcraft: Midnight officially launches today! Early access comes to an end, which means Blizzard is adding additional content with this upcoming reset.
Here’s what’s players can look forward to this week.
Haranir Allied Race
The new allied race will be available to unlock with the official launch. Available to both Horde and Alliance, players can unlock them by earning the 
Allied Race: Haranir achievement by completing the Harandar campaign.
The new race features nine playable races and unique racials. You can check out our whole overview here.
Arcantina: Visitor Quests
The Arcantina will officially be available for players. Serving as a quest hub, the Arcantina offers quests for players from significant lore characters.
Completing the Arator’s Journey storyline will award players a 
Personal Key to the Arcantina, unlocking this feature. Players should take their time to check it out, as there’s plenty of achievements, decor, along with other fun rewards tied this new evergreen content.
You can check out our full breakdown here.
Prey: Hard Difficulty
Prey is a new optional hunting system that lets you pursue powerful foes across the Midnight Expansion zones for gear and various cosmetic rewards. This system adds an extra layer to world content that can make it more fun and exciting!
Early Access currently only has normal hunts available, but hard difficulty will be enabled with this upcoming reset. Hard difficulty makes your prey harder to hunt by adding a couple affixes, and enables torment.
Prey rewards cosmetics, mounts, toys, and so much more for collectors! You can check out the full overview here, and our prey rewards guide here.
Profession Weekly Quests
Profession quests will be back, giving players more tools to quickly level up their professions and add more knowledge points.
Our full professions guide for Midnight can be found here.

Mythic 0: Preseason
All Midnight dungeons will be available on Mythic 0. Midnight features eight brand new dungeons, which slowly unlock as you complete zone campaigns or reach certain levels.
The dungeons will be on a weekly lockout until season one, when they’ll become daily lockouts. You can check out our full dungeon overview guide here.
Happy expansion launch day!
Midnight Early Access Now Live!
In Midnight, players experience the next chapter in the Worldsoul Saga as things become more dire for the world of Azeroth. Xal’atath, the Harbinger, poses our greatest threat as she unleashes chaos in her wake with the ensuing invasion striking into the heart of the blood elf homelands in Eversong Woods.
Midnight Content Releases
