8 New Things We Learned About World Of Warcraft: Forever
Key Points:
- World of Warcraft: Forever, announced at Blizzcon 2026 and launching November 4, offers a nostalgic Classic WoW experience with fresh content, avoiding repetitive dungeons and raids.
- Unlike Season of Discovery, Forever emphasizes simplicity and class identity, excluding unconventional class-role combos such as shaman tanks at launch, though the developers remain open to player feedback.
- Each raid tier will feature at least one 10-player and one 20-player option, ensuring smaller groups can participate without flex raiding, which has been removed.
- Warlocks remain essential for summoning party members to dungeons and raids, as Meeting Stones no longer provide summoning, though a new Looking for Group feature facilitates group formation.
- PvP introduces a new honor-based ranking system with rewards, including cosmetic items and PvP armor, and add-ons that automate combat functions will be restricted similarly to retail WoW.
