World of Warcraft The War Within is nearing it's end, and it feels surreal that this will be the last season before the Midnight DLC.
The brand-new expansion will be released sometime in 2026, and Blizzard has spoken deeply on how add-ons will be changing.
Here's what we know about the future of DBM and BigWigs.
World of Warcraft: Will BigWigs and DBM Be Disabled In Midnight?
WoW Midnight has been fully revealed during Gamescom 2025, and it looks promising with the additions of Housing and the return to Quel'Thalas.
Before we dive in, most Warcraft players are well aware of Blizzard's intentions to reduce the amount of add-ons needed to play the game, especially in PvE content. This has been more relevant than ever with reminder tools, weak auras and so on.
In Midnight, yes, BigWigs, DBM and all combat add-ons that describe to the player what is about to happen will be removed. Instead, Blizzard will have their own versions of the timers in their UI now.
