Blizzard confirms World of Warcraft Forever at BlizzCon 2026

screenrant.com — September 12, 2026 at 08:01 PM UTC

Blizzard officially confirmed World of Warcraft Forever at BlizzCon 2026, unveiling the long-rumored "Classic Plus" mode that expands the original game with substantial new content and features. The new mode, developed by the WoW Classic team, will include three new zones, over 1,000 new quests, nine dungeons, two raids, a new battleground, and the Skyborne Elves race. A beta launches this Thursday, with the full release scheduled for early November. Blizzard also announced the Warcraft Forever Collection bundle, pairing Warcraft 3: Reforged with WoW Forever. This creates three distinct ways to play the MMO—Retail, Classic, and Forever—alongside a preview of the Eclipse update for World of Warcraft: Midnight.
