A new patch for World of Warcraft: Midnight is being publicly tested.
World of Warcraft: Midnight patch 12.1.5, The Promise of Tomorrow, has entered PTR testing, introducing a new single-boss raid, persistent Labyrinth Delves and recurring Aqir Invasions. Blizzard has not confirmed a release date, leaving the patch’s features and launch timeline subject to change.

World of Warcraft: Midnight’s upcoming patch (12.1.5), The Promise of Tomorrow, is now available for testing on the Public Test Realm (PTR), with a release date unconfirmed. The patch continues the aftermath of Ula’tek’s defeat, as Quel’thalas and Zul’Aman attempt to maintain an uneasy alliance against an ancient threat. Interested users can join the World of Warcraft PTR by creating a free test account on their Blizzard profile and downloading the test client through the Battle.net desktop application.

Highlights of the patch include "The Unbinding of Kith’ix," a single-boss raid in which players fight alongside Lady Liadrin. "Labyrinths" is an extended Delve format Blizzard likens to mega-dungeons: sessions can be split across multiple visits rather than finished in one sitting, with dedicated progression tied to unlocks and rewards. The first Labyrinth, Kindo’jan, is an ancient Amani funeral complex, with Valeera Sanguinar serving as the companion.

Meanwhile, "Aqir Invasions" will provide recurring outdoor events in Eversong and Zul’Aman. They occur hourly and last 10 minutes, combining six scenario types with combat modifiers before culminating in a boss encounter. Altogether, patch 12.1.5 provides story progression, group-based challenges and additional side quests/other playable modes. Given the absent release date, however, much remains provisional until Blizzard confirms further details, possibly around BlizzCon 2026.
