World of Warcraft Forever Revealed by Blizzard, New Warcraft 3 Campaigns in the Works
Blizzard Entertainment officially announced World of Warcraft Forever at BlizzCon on Saturday, with the game scheduled to launch on Nov. 4, 2026.
Designed by the Classic team, this long-rumored project, colloquially known as "Classic+," exists in a "time bubble" set during the first year of the original World of Warcraft.
At launch, the game features a level 60 cap, three new zones, over 1,000 new quests, and a new Skyborne Elves race. Players can access 10 and 20 person raids and a new Battleground.
Blizzard's "Warcraft" chief Holly Longdale described the MMO as "easy to get into and play, and deep enough to stay forever." A beta launches next week on Sept. 17.
Players will level to 60 and remain at that cap indefinitely, with developers emphasizing that "it's the journey that counts, not the destination." This philosophy positions Warcraft Forever as a long-term community experience.
The persistent “Camelot” rumors were more or less true. Vanilla is coming back – in less than two months. But “World of Warcraft Forever” is more than just a return to the origins of the MMO classic.
