Blizzard has announced Midnight Mythic+ Season 1 development notes which includes a lot of tuning!

Greetings!

Midnight Season 1 dungeon testing continues on Wednesday, December 10 at 4:00 p.m. PST (7:00 p.m. EDT / 1:00 a.m. CEST) and runs until Tuesday, December 16 at 10:00 a.m. PST (1:00 p.m. EDT / 7:00 p.m. CEST). Please note that this schedule may be adjusted if we encounter any technical issues during testing.

During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation.Throughout beta, all Midnight dungeons will be available for testing on Normal and Heroic difficulty.
