Despite being the seminal MMORPG, World of Warcraft has had some serious ups and downs. Shadowlands felt like the start of a marked decline, and while Dragonflight introduced some new mechanics, it was nothing to write home about (trust me, I wrote a whole review on it). The Worldsoul Saga was primed to change that: a return to old-school WoW, with a new-school approach. The War Within's Delves and innovations like Plunderstorm and Remixes have certainly been a welcome step forward, but it feels like Midnight truly ushers in a new era of Warcraft - an era of modernization that's essential to its survival in a genre that's becoming ever-more competitive.
