MMO event calendar

The last scheduled unlock of Midnight Season 2. Blizzard names the week of 8 September rather than a day, so the range is the week.

At the Anaheim Convention Center, across both days. Blizzard's own announcement names the opening ceremony, panels, the Darkmoon Faire, competition and hands-on play, and nothing further.

Blizzard's schedule puts the Mythic Dungeon Invitational grand finals on day one from 12:45 p.m. PDT and the Arena World Championship on day two, with a pre-show at 10:45 a.m. PDT and the first grand-final match at 11:00 a.m. PDT. Streamed on the Warcraft Twitch and YouTube channels. Combined prize pool of $600,000.

Until 09:30 UTC. Regular and Noble drops at twice the usual rate on participating streams.

PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, simultaneously, plus Steam and the Epic Games Store on PC.

ArenaNet's post of 8 September 2026 says the final chapter of Visions of Eternity, called Code of Creation, drops 15 September and sends players into the depths of Castora across six story chapters. This row showed an end-of-September estimate until that post named the day.

At Makuhari Messe, Chiba. Square Enix gives the show dates in Japan time as business days on 17 and 18 September, invitation only, and public days on 19, 20 and 21 September. Its booth is in Hall 3 and its shop in Hall 9. The post names a screen playing the Evercold trailer, a character meet and greet on public days only, and an early release of merchandise.

ZeniMax says the campaign runs until 17 September and lets players earn up to 20 free crates. The page gives the closing date and no start date, so only the close is carried here.

The Forever What's Next panel recap of 12 September 2026 says beta begins September 17. Blizzard's pre-purchase post points anyone wanting a hands-on preview at the Skyborne Epic Pack or the limited-time Warcraft Forever Collection, and its listing for the Skyborne Heroic Pack does not include beta access. Neither post gives a start time for the beta.

Blizzard's post of 12 September 2026 gives Thursday, September 17 at 10:00 a.m. PDT on the official Warcraft Twitch and YouTube channels, with members from across the World of Warcraft development team answering questions gathered on the World of Warcraft forums. The post says a VOD will be available afterwards.

In-person attendees only. Blizzard's own wording is no later than 18 September 2026.

Until 10:00 UTC. The Season and Conqueror's Bundles, listed at $69.95 and $119.95 with prices stated to vary by platform and region, each carry 90 days of Premium and the Dragon Hunter Vanity Bundle. A Season Bundle may be upgraded to a Conqueror's Bundle before the offer ends by paying the difference.

Ends before maintenance. Began 27 August with revamped rules; rewards tier at 3, 6 and 12 total victories.

Moved with Vegamor, which update 4.9.0's notes reschedule to the end of September without giving a day.

September's Month Ahead post of 3 September 2026 says Havenhythe Part II launches on September 28, after the remaining weeks of Leagues II: EQUILIBRIUM. The same post names two other September updates: an Engine Update carrying the Vulkan beta, and a Deep Clean update it places in week four without giving a day.

Moved back a week from 21 September by the game director's letter, which names the Nowhere Vault, the Rumors system and the player-experience improvements as its contents.

NC says a Founder's Pack grants access five days before launch and dates launch to 5 October. The days shown are that subtraction, not NC's own words.

ZeniMax dates the event's arrival to 30 September and gives no end date. The same page returns the Fair Winds home from 17 September to 14 October alongside it.

September's Month Ahead post of 3 September 2026 calls RuneFest the biggest in-person RuneScape event of the year and says it will take place on October 3 and 4. The post names no venue and no ticket detail.

Jagex's 3 September announcement says players can tune into its Summit at Runefest on October 3rd to hear about 2027 and the next Saga in Ashenfall's story. The post dates the Summit and no other Runefest day, so this row is the Summit rather than the convention around it.

NC's own store page gives 5 October 2026 as the release date, lists the game as free to play, and says PC only, on Unreal Engine 5. It names no launch regions and no second platform, read 2026-09-13, so neither is carried here.

Square Enix has announced nothing. Estimated from prior years.

ZeniMax says the festival returns as usual and gives no dates. These are estimated from prior years.

Ends before maintenance. An ordered event quest chain giving cron meals, perfumes and selectable harmony draughts.

Estimated from prior years until Blizzard announces.

The Forever What's Next panel recap of 12 September 2026 says new raids unlock on December 9, after the November 4 launch. It then lists more raids, dungeons, PvP updates, world content, extra quests through the level 1-60 journey, Hardcore and a revamped iconic raid, and gives a date for none of them.
