World of Warcraft: Forever 2026
World of Warcraft: Forever is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It operates as an alternate version of the original World of Warcraft, focusing on the game’s initial 2004 setting and mechanics, while including fresh content and narratives absent from the base game. The title was unveiled at BlizzCon 2026 on September 12, 2026, with a beta launch following on September 17, 2026, and the full release occurring on November 4, 2026.
This new branch of World of Warcraft runs parallel to both the current version and World of Warcraft: Classic. Forever is set during the first year of the original game’s timeline, within a separate continuity. Unlike Classic, which aims to recreate the early experience exactly, Forever expands on Azeroth by introducing new zones, quests, dungeons, raids, races, abilities, and race-class combinations. The level cap remains at 60. It is designed to explore uncharted regions and storylines from the original game’s progression.
Blizzard Entertainment announced the game’s release through BlizzCon 2026. The game is playable on Windows and macOS platforms and supports multiplayer modes. Access requires an existing World of Warcraft subscription or game time, with optional digital upgrade packs offering extra cosmetic and content features.
World of Warcraft: Forever marked the biggest launch in the series’ history by peak concurrent player count, and also recorded the highest number of returning players in its history.
