Before the launch of World of Warcraft: Midnight, there are first insights into the story before Xal’atath’s invasion on Twitch, but not as gameplay impressions. A group of German streamers takes on the roles of 5 adventurers in a live tabletop oneshot with familiar faces.
Who is participating in the tabletop session? As the announcement from the German X accounts for Warcraft suggests, streamers Noway, Gnu, Metashi, and Etienne from the Rocket Beans will be thrown into a P&P adventure on Twitch, led by author and streamer Liza Grimm. In addition to the 4 players, another person will join the team, who has not yet been announced.
Under the title “It’s worth fighting for home”, the group will start on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM on Twitch, sending their self-created characters on a journey. You can follow the stream on the Twitch channels of the mentioned individuals.
A oneshot that the community can help shape
What is a oneshot and what will this one include? A oneshot in tabletop role-playing means that it is a short campaign that lasts only one session. Consequently, the adventure will have a conclusive ending a few hours after the start.
The streamers’ oneshot is set against the backdrop of Xal’atath’s invasion and will serve as a kind of prologue to the upcoming expansion in WoW. Not only the conflict of Midnight plays an important role, but also the community on Twitch.
How can the community get involved? Due to the live broadcast of the oneshot, viewers of the stream can not only follow the events in real-time but also help shape them.
During the stream, the community can vote to influence how important decisions will turn out, thus affecting the outcome of certain key moments.
World of Warcraft: Midnight launches worldwide on March 3, 2026, with a variety of new features.
