#MidnightReveal
This video introduces Midnight gameplay, the newest expansion for World of Warcraft. An image of an elf with Midnight blue hair and deep violet skin dominates the image. She looks directly towards the viewer. She wears a circlet of tarnished metal with a large, cracked purple gem in the center of her forehead. Her face is marked with two lines of dark runes. Below her shoulders, the image fades into the whisps of a dark purple void. The World of Warcraft midnight logo shines out from the darkness. White text beneath the logo spells, โ€œGameplay Revealโ€.
