Everything Going Away Before the Midnight Pre-Patch (January 20, 2026)

The Midnight pre‑patch — often referred to as The Warning — is slated to go live on January 20, 2026 (NA) and January 21, 2026 (EU). This marks the end of The War Within Season 3, and with it comes a major seasonal reset that will close the door on many time‑limited activities, rewards, and achievements.

If you’re aiming to collect exclusive mounts, titles, PvP and Mythic+ rewards, or seasonal feats, now is the time to act. In this article, we break down everything players should prioritize before the pre‑patch hits, so nothing important slips through the cracks.

When Does Season 3 End?

Blizzard has confirmed that Season 3 will conclude on January 19, 2026 (NA) and January 20, 2026 (EU) — simultaneous with the end of Legion Remix and right before the Midnight pre‑patch goes live.

This seasonal cut‑off means that many rewards, achievements, and progression tracks will either be retired, converted into legacy content, or much harder to obtain afterward.

Top Priorities: Seasonal Achievements & Major Feats

To make the most of Season 3, focus on accomplishments that will no longer be readily available after the pre‑patch:

• Void Wear Prohibited — high‑tier season meta achievement

• The War Within Season 3: Voidborne Victor — marks mastery across activities

• Seasonal titles and feats linked to PvP and Mythic+ (like The Unbound Hero)

Prioritizing one content path — whether PvE, PvP, or Delves — will help you maximize your seasonal rewards efficiently.

Raids: Don’t Miss Heroic & Mythic Accomplishments

Heroic “Ahead of the Curve”

This achievement is unlocked by defeating the final boss of the current raid on Heroic difficulty. While it doesn’t grant gear itself, it’s a prestigious accolade that showcases your team’s skill.

For Season 3, this means defeating Dimensius the All‑Devouring on Heroic before January 20.

Mythic “Cutting Edge”

More prestigious than AOTC, Cutting Edge requires a Mythic kill of the final boss. These achievements are often seen as badges of honor and can be a highlight of your raid resume.

Note: While the mounts earned from these raids (like Royal Voidwing and Unbound Star‑Eater) will remain in the game, the quest lines and certain unlock steps (e.g., Royal Voidwing) will be removed once Midnight fully launches on March 2, 2026.

Mythic+ Dungeons: Keystone Milestones to Still Get

Mythic+ progression resets with the pre‑patch, and with that reset comes the loss of access to certain season‑specific titles and mounts including:

Strongly consider pushing for Keystone Master and Keystone Hero — both yield mounts and items that won’t carry over after the pre‑patch. Also aim to complete all associated portals unlocked by Keystone Hero dungeons before the seasonal reset.

Rated PvP: Seasonal Rewards You Don’t Want to Miss

PvP rewards also reset with the pre‑patch. Seasonal goals include:

• Reaching Elite Rank (2400+ rating)

• Earning Crystallized Ethereal Voidsplinter

• Securing the Vicious Void Creeper mount

• Unlocking Vicious Saddle access (allows legacy PvP rewards later)

• Pushing for Gladiator title and Astral Gladiator’s Fel Bat mount, which requires 50 Arena wins at Elite rating

PvP Tier Appearance Unlocks

Progress through rating tiers to unlock pieces of the elite set:

Tip: Elite set appearances are character‑specific — you need to earn them on each alt you want them on.

Delves: Solo Season 3 Challenges

Delves provide unique solo endgame content with solo feats and cosmetic rewards — but once Season 3 ends, the seasonal feats tied to Delves will be retired as well.

Ky’veza — Let Me Solo Her

• Accessible at higher item levels (700+) via Delve progress

• Offers unique cosmetics and achievements

• Seasonal Feat: Let Me Solo Her: Nexus-Princess Ky'veza (exclusive to Season 3)

Completing the seasonal Delves now is essential, because their Feats of Strength and specific cosmetic unlocks won’t return once the season cycles out.

Seasonal Side Goals: Flickering Gates & Smaller Achievements

Beyond the big targets, don’t overlook:

• Flash in the Void — open 100 Flickering Gates in Bountiful Delves

• Often overlooked, but it rewards the “Flickering” title and is tied exclusively to Season 3

These smaller objectives can easily be forgotten — but they will not be available post‑pre‑patch.

Turbulent Timeways III: Timewalking Bonuses and Mounts

The Turbulent Timeways III event runs through Patch 11.2.7. If you complete five consecutive weekly Timewalking cycles, you’ll earn:

• Ta’readon’s Mount Voucher

• Various mounts and timewalking rewards across expansions

Make sure you don’t miss out — this event stops with the pre‑patch.

Legion Remix: Last Call for Rewards

Legion Remix also winds down with Season 3:

• NA closure: January 19, 2026

• EU closure: January 20, 2026

Before it ends, be sure you’ve:

• Collected all Remix mounts, pets, and transmogs

• Farmed requisite Bronze and Infinite Power

• Completed checklist achievements

After this date, Legion Remix content simply disappears.

Alt Leveling & Gear Optimization Before Pre‑Patch

With Turbulent Timeways buffs active, this is one of the best times to gear up and level alts:

• The Timeways knowledge buff accelerates leveling

• Alt progression before the pre‑patch means more characters ready for Midnight launch day

Prioritize leveling and gearing characters you want to use in the early days of Midnight.

The Midnight Pre‑Patch Checklist

Conclusion

The Midnight pre‑patch represents a hard seasonal reset. Many rewards, feats, and activities from The War Within Season 3 — including PvP titles, Mythic+ rewards, Delve achievements, Timewalking bonuses, and Legion Remix content — will become unavailable or legacy only after January 20, 2026.
