Blizzard Entertainment develops World of Warcraft: Forever

Blizzard Entertainment is developing World of Warcraft: Forever, a new version of the MMORPG designed with a slower pace and a focus on long-term engagement rather than seasonal cycles. Co-producer Clay Stone noted that the project aims to capture the interest of players who found success in Classic and Hardcore modes, providing a more stable experience that does not rely on fleeting seasonal elements.

In response to community feedback, Blizzard is also revising the visual design of the new Skyborne race. Developers acknowledged that the initial models for the elves and their druidic forms appeared too polished and clashed with the game’s established retro aesthetic. The updated models will feature more muted colors and detailed textures to better align with the original 2004 visual identity. These visual changes are expected to arrive next year.
