- Outside of emergency fixes, balance updates are paused until March 17, when Season 1 starts, reflecting class overhauls and the pruning of combat addons to encourage more intuitive play.
- Endgame unlocks are staggered: Mythic and Mythic+ arrive March 24, the March on Quel'Danas raid opens March 31, and a final major tuning pass is planned for April 7, with hotfixes as needed.
- Midnight adds player housing, new and reimagined zones, a level cap increase to 90, the Haranir allied race, a new Demon Hunter DPS spec, Delves, eight dungeons, and three Season 1 raids.
- Blizzard details near‑term housing upgrades including increased decor storage, improved deletion tools, restored exterior lighting, visitor codes, a pets‑as‑decor option with free roaming, showcase voting, and layout import/export, while some players argue the feature needs more functionality.
