BlizzCon 2026: World of Warcraft Forever is a ‘permanent home’ for Classic players

It’s time to stop calling it “Classic Plus” — we now know that World of Warcraft’s next MMO is World of Warcraft Forever, an expanded version of Classic with a lot more content and a new expanding version of the vanilla world. And it’s coming November 4th with a beta starting this coming Thursday.

World of Warcraft Forever will keep the level cap at 60, but a whole lot is going to change. This is “a new permanent home, a new beginning that never ends,” said Holly Longdale. “We’re giving you another way to play wow that’s friendly familiar and new.”
