Looking at WoW, we can expect a first taste of the Midnight expansion for the game, which will likely make its arrival sometime in 2026. On top of this will be developer panels, meet and greets, cosplay showcases, loot to acquire, and more.

Blizzard elaborates: "Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft has officially announced its highly anticipated presence at gamescom in 2025. Taking place annually in Cologne, Germany, gamescom is one of the world's largest gaming events. Attendees will be treated to exclusive news and updates about Midnight, the next chapter of The Worldsoul Saga."
