Midnight Expansion Brings a Twist to Talent Trees

Stan's Avatar by Stan

At gamescom 2025, Spanish WoW fan site Alter Site sat down with Associate Director Paul Kubit, who talked about the upcoming talent points in the Midnight expansion, and here are the highlights!

Please keep in mind we’ve translated this article from Spanish, so some phrasing may differ slightly from the original interview.

  • Players will have 10 extra talent points in the Midnight expansion.
  • Blizzard is adding a whole new type of talents called “apex”, designed to push your spec-defining abilities further.

Midnight Talent Distribution

Here’s how the new 10 talent points will be distributed:

  • Your Class tree will receive +3 points (no new nodes here, just more flexibility).
  • Your Hero talents will receive +3 points, opening up a new path to explore.
  • Your Spec tree will receive +4 talents, where the “Apex” talents are found.

Expect to learn more about apex talents in the Systems Download panel slated for tomorrow!
