World of Warcraft: Forever is a new version of World of Warcraft from Blizzard, revealed at BlizzCon 2026. It sits apart from modern WoW and WoW Classic: players return to the Azeroth of the original 2004 game, and the level cap stays at 60.
Unlike Classic, which recreates the old game as it was, Forever builds on it with new content: three new zones including Mount Hyjal and Zephras Isle, more than a thousand quests, nine dungeons and two raids. It adds the Skyborne race, race and class combinations that did not exist before, and reworks several systems.
Access is part of the regular World of Warcraft subscription. The closed beta runs from September 17 to October 21, 2026, with launch set for November 4. Blizzard plans further raids, dungeons and Hardcore realms after release.
