What Are the New Mounts in WoW Midnight?
World of Warcraft: Midnight is the next major expansion following The War Within and is expected to release in 2026 March 2, continuing the Worldsoul Saga. Midnight focuses heavily on Silvermoon, Zul’Aman, Voidstorm, and Harandar, and this theme is strongly reflected in its mount design.
At launch, Midnight introduces one of the largest mount waves ever seen in a single expansion release. These mounts range from classic-inspired creatures like Dragonhawks and Hawkstriders to completely new models with unique animations, particle effects, and visual upgrades. Most mounts are available immediately in Season 1, while others are tied to long-term progression or hidden systems.
NOTE: Players who want to secure seasonal mounts early or complete grind-heavy collections faster may consider using a Service Provider such as WoW Mount Boost Service. Professional help with PvE clears, PvP rating, reputation farming, or achievement completion can save significant time during the first Midnight season.
PvE, PvP, Rare, and Secret Mounts New Mounts in Midnight
Midnight launches with 42 new mounts available at release, not counting recolors planned for later seasons or Trading Post additions. These mounts are distributed across PvE, PvP, open-world rares, renown vendors, delves, and special activities like Prey and Abundance.
Some mounts are designed as quick rewards for early progression, while others are clearly meant as long-term goals for dedicated collectors.
600 Mount Collector’s Reward in WoW Midnight
This mount Anu’shalla, Shadow’s Guidance is the 600 Mount Collection achievement reward Insurmountable Collection, making it one of the earliest unlocks for veteran collectors.

With the large number of new mounts added in Midnight, many players will naturally reach the 600 threshold during Season 1.
