At BlizzCon 2026 in September, developers showcased gameplay for World of Warcraft: Forever. The project is positioned as a "new way" to play WoW (essentially, it will be an expanded version of the game).
Developers will offer players a journey "in a familiar yet new game." They will rework classes, update game systems, the world will receive visual enhancements, and gameplay will also be refined.
Blizzard Entertainment has already opened pre-orders – the "Heroic Skyborn Pack" is available for $30, and the "Epic Skyborn Pack" for $60.
For $80, players can purchase the "Warcraft Forever Collection" – it includes the contents of the Epic Pack and access to Warcraft III: Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom (the strategy game itself + a fresh expansion with a new campaign).
All World of Warcraft: Forever packs will include:
- Skyborn race + introductory part of the game on Zephris Island
- Sky-Blue Prideclaw (ground mount)
- Shen'dorai Skyseer's Attire (transmogrification set)
- Experienced Adventurer's Backpack (back decoration)
- Shen'dorai Wind Well (toy)
- Skyborn-themed decorative items
- Early name reservation in WoW: Forever
- Starter code to invite a friend
Expanded packs will include additional bonuses, such as game time (30 days of subscription), tabards, pets, transmogrification sets, mounts, etc.
Beta testing for World of Warcraft: Forever is planned to launch on September 17, with the release expected on November 5, 2026.
