WoW Midnight Patch Reworks Combat Add-Ons Into Built-In UI

Blizzard's World of Warcraft Midnight pre-patch (Jan 20, 2026) overhauls combat add-ons, integrating key features like a damage meter and boss timeline into the default UI to level the playing field, while major add-ons such as Details! and Deadly Boss Mods persist in a retooled form and WeakAuras won’t receive a compatible version. The goal is to prevent competitive advantages from add-ons, though some tools will continue in updated forms. The update also introduces a new Demon Hunter spec, expands the housing system, and revamps transmog, with the full Midnight release scheduled for March 2, 2026.
