Pet Battles in Midnight

Baldorin-401824 · November 19, 2025, 3:50pm

At present, I have not encountered any official announcement from Blizzard regarding the continuation of pet battles in the Midnight expansion. Xu-Fu’s Pet Battle, a website dedicated to World of Warcraft pet battles and collection, has stated that pet battles may be phased out during Midnight. Can anyone confirm whether this information is accurate? As an avid enthusiast of pet battles, pet collecting, and pet battle world quests, I hope these features will remain part of Midnight. They constitute a significant portion of my engagement with the game.

The breakdown is in the beta forums.

On another topic

The Pet Battle system is being iterated on in Midnight, and changes will continue to come with future Alpha builds.

In the first builds of the Midnight Alpha, we have several goals:

For players who love collecting pets, there should be significant numbers of pets to collect.

For players who love to do pet battle combat, that will be available.

As time has passed, we’ve seen fewer and fewer players enjoying pet battle combat, so this is an area we want to iterate on.

There will be some new pets in Midnight that are capable of battling.

All parts of the pet battle system that were implemented in previous expansions should continue to operate as they have before.

We’re experimenting with some alternate methods to obtain pets in Midnight, and we expect to iterate on that, based on your feedback. Please let us know whether you’re an experienced pet battler or engaging with the system for the first time when you leave feedback.

TL;DR - we are not getting any new pet battle masters for dailies. Everything that exists in the game will stay in the game.
