Announced today at Blizzcon, this is World of Warcraft: Forever, and it’s coming out a lot sooner that you think.

Here’s the very fancy cinematic trailer – check it out below!

Step into World of Warcraft: Forever and embrace the call of a new frontier. Be among Azeroth’s most ardently adventurous adventurers when WoW: Forever launches on November 4, 2026, or pre-purchase the Skyborne Epic Pack or Warcraft Forever Collection to get an early explorer’s view of Azeroth when Beta opens September 17, 2026.

The beta starts Thursday next week, and Blizzcon attendees can play right now on the show floor. Want more gameplay? Blizzard provides!

“World of Warcraft Forever is your new permanent home. It’s a new beginning that never ends – and I promise you, if you’re past, current or a new player, now’s the time to get into the game that changed everything. Let me tell you why.

We’re giving you another way to play WoW. It’s friendly, familiar and new. It’s going to live right alongside our modern and classic games. Forever is focused on what made Vanilla so memorable in the first place – the world as the main character. Instead of one big heroic story, you will carve your own path.”

Holly Longdale, Blizzard Entertainment

Blizzard are on a roll today – they also announced the next game in the Diablo franchise, Diablo V. Not only that, but there’s a new open-world Starcraft shooter simply titled ‘STARCRAFT‘ coming in 2030. Phew!
