WoW: The Last Titan Cinematic Ups The Stakes, But First, Xal’atath

As is BlizzCon tradition, a new World of Warcraft cinematic premiered during the BlizzCon 2026 opening ceremony , setting the stage for the MMORPG's next expansion, The Last Titan. In a departure for BlizzCon, that glimpse was just about all fans learned about the new expansion, with Blizzard instead looking to put the focus more on the final content patch of the game's current Midnight expansion. That update, titled Eclipse, will consist of a climactic showdown with the franchise's current main villain, Xal'atath. An in-game cinematic shown during the ceremony revealed Xal'atath's true objective, to merge with Azeroth's worldsoul and become unstoppable.
