Blizzard has revealed World of Warcraft: Forever, launching November 4, 2026. The announcement includes the “New Horizons” cinematic and a separate gameplay trailer, introducing a new return to Azeroth. Beta access begins September 17 for players with the Skyborne Epic Pack or Warcraft Forever Collection.
Forever revisits the original world with new and expanded areas, updated class design, revised systems, and visual improvements. Blizzard lists more than 1,000 new quests, new dungeons, and max-level raids, alongside additional race and class combinations such as Dwarf Shaman and Forsaken Paladin.
An active WoW subscription or game time includes access when Forever launches. The new Skyborne elven race and its Zephras Isle starting experience require the Skyborne Heroic Pack or a higher edition. Beta access is included in the Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection; the entry-level Heroic Pack does not include it.
Watch the cinematic below, then see the official gameplay trailer for a closer look at the world and its new additions.
