New Loading Screen for Midnight Zones on Patch 12.1 PTR

A new loading screen has appeared on the Patch 12.1 PTR, replacing the previous art of the Eastern Kingdoms used for most open world content in Midnight.

Titled Hope Shall Rise, the image should look fairly familiar, as it was key art for the Midnight Pre-Expansion update in January. With this change, it is now the generic screen used for most Midnight world content, though instanced content and activities such as dungeons and raids will continue to use their unique screens.

Previously, these areas used a sky-high shot of the newly unified Eastern Kingdoms, instead of the Midnight-specific loading screen.
