World of Warcraft is now three parallel lines: Modern, Classic, and Forever, with Forever set for release on November 4 and a beta starting September 17. Access to Forever comes with a World of Warcraft subscription.
Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft: Forever at BlizzCon2026. The team behind WoW: Classic is developing it, and it becomes the third World of Warcraft experience alongside Modern and Classic. The announcement was made at the company's community event, with release scheduled for November 4 and a beta starting September 17.
Forever adds three zones, more than 1,000 quests, nine dungeons, two raids, and the new race Skyborn. Access comes with a World of Warcraft subscription, so the three lines sit under one payment rather than separate expansion purchases. The stated structure divides the audience by play style rather than by expansion cycle.
The only other recent coverage of the game is a technical note: Nvidia's Game Ready driver version 610.62, released June 17, improves World of Warcraft stability among other fixes. That is the full extent of what the stories establish about the game's current state. No further details on Forever's content, pricing beyond the subscription, or release timing outside the November 4 date have been reported.
