Blizzard’s Quel’Thalas video shows how Midnight is changing Silvermoon
The behind-the-scenes look follows several World of Warcraft developers as they explain how they are updating Quel'Thalas and Silvermoon City without losing the zone's older Warcraft roots.
Blizzard has published a behind-the-scenes look at the rebuild of Quel’Thalas for World of Warcraft: Midnight, and the focus is squarely on how the team is reworking one of Azeroth’s most familiar blood elf regions.
The video, posted on the official WoW YouTube channel, brings in developers from several parts of the team to talk through the process of updating Quel’Thalas and Silvermoon City for the next expansion.
What stands out is the care Blizzard appears to be taking with the zone’s history. The developers talk about keeping the spirit of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and The Burning Crusade intact while still making the area feel like it belongs in modern World of Warcraft.
For players who follow lore, zone art, or just like seeing how Blizzard rebuilds an old favorite from the ground up, this is an easy one to watch. Share your thoughts on the Quel’Thalas rebuild in the comments, and join us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram.
