Sure, the timing of this announcement this morning was definitely suspect considering what another big five MMORPG was about to and now has revealed, but let’s all try our best to ignore that World of Warcraft wants to show off that it can do a flip: The MMORPG will be having a big showcase about its Midnight expansion as part of this year’s Gamescom when it features on the opening night of the event on Tuesday, August 19th.

The whole shebang will kick off with the premiere of the expansion’s cinematic, following that, there will be an overview of Midnight’s zones, features, and mechanics, as well as a housing hands-on demonstration for those who will be attending the event and the promise of livestreamed housing showcases as part of a creator clash event. So, yes, it sounds like you’re going to have to sit through WoW esports to get to the actually good stuff.

More details like a full schedule for WoW’s Gamescom presence are planned to be shared soon, but just know that Midnight will draw across Cologne, Germany, in a few weeks’ time.
