Blizzard has released a brand-new animated short dedicated to Xal’atath, one of the most enigmatic and dangerous figures connected to the upcoming World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion.
The animation offers a dark glimpse into the growing influence of the Void and hints at a massive threat looming over Azeroth as Midnight draws closer.

Who Is Xal’atath?
Xal’atath has long been associated with manipulation, ancient power, and the Void itself. Throughout Warcraft’s history, her influence has surfaced at key moments, shaping events from the shadows and guiding others toward catastrophic outcomes.
This animation reinforces her role as a central antagonist and suggests that her ambitions may finally reach their climax in the events of WoW: Midnight.
Why This Matters
For players, this cinematic is more than just lore flavor. It signals Blizzard’s intent to place Xal’atath at the heart of the upcoming expansion’s narrative, potentially impacting raids, endgame progression, and future story arcs.
If Midnight continues down this path, players can expect darker themes, higher stakes, and a deeper focus on Void-related content.
