The next phase in the journey toward launch for World of Warcraft Midnight is underway, as beta testing has officially commenced and is now live in the test client.

As shared in our announcement blog, this phase of testing invites more players to jump in and test out major features, systems, quests, and more. Those invited will include anyone who pre-purchased the Midnight Epic Edition as well as those who signed up from the opt-in page of the Midnight website. Additionally, players who purchase or who upgrade to the Epic Edition of Midnight during the course of the beta, will also gain immediate access.

For the initial phase of beta, players can experience upcoming features including the level-up quest campaigns in the zones, exploring the newly revamped Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City player hub as well as other zones, the Prey system, the new Haranir allied race, and more. Later phases of beta will also extend to raid boss testing to capture feedback on new combat and encounter tools the WoW team has developed.
