World of Warcraft at BlizzCon 2026: Discover What’s Next
Blizzard’s BlizzCon weekend roundup — including the Forever announcement, launch date, and beta start.
This is Blizzard’s live BlizzCon 2026 news post. It covers several Warcraft products. The Forever section is the official announcement copy.
Blizzard states Forever launches November 4, with beta beginning Thursday, September 17. It is a new permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW, set after Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom and before Molten Core.
Players return to the original continents, adventure to level 60, and keep progressing through new stories and updates. The post also points to a Forever Deep Dive panel on Sunday, September 13 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, and a live Q&A on September 17.
The same article includes Midnight: Eclipse, The Last Titan, and Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom. Those are official, but they are not Forever patch notes.
