Blizzard Entertainment announces World of Warcraft Forever

Blizzard Entertainment has revealed ‘World of Warcraft Forever,’ a new project designed to address community demand for ‘Classic Plus’ content. Announced at BlizzCon 2026, the initiative aims to expand the level 60 experience through horizontal progression rather than the traditional vertical expansion model.

The project includes revamping three classic zones, adding three new ones, and introducing three new raids, a new battleground, and a new playable race known as Skyborne elves. It also promises thousands of new quests and content updates within existing classic environments.

This official direction follows years of community interest in legacy gameplay and the rise of independent custom-ruleset servers, such as Turtle WoW and Project Ascension, which offer modified mechanics and experimental rulesets outside of Blizzard’s official infrastructure.
