Blizzard Details New Gameplay Approach for World of Warcraft Forever

Players can now pre-order one of the available editions.

At the September BlizzCon 2026 event, developers showcased gameplay for World of Warcraft: Forever. The project is positioned as a “new way” to play WoW, functioning essentially as an expanded version of the game.

Developers will invite players to embark on a journey “in a familiar yet new game.” They will rework classes, update game systems, bring visual improvements to the world, and refine the gameplay.

Blizzard Entertainment has already opened pre-orders, offering the Sky-Born Heroic Pack for $30 and the Sky-Born Epic Pack for $60.

For $80, players can purchase the Warcraft Forever Collection bundle, which includes the contents of the epic pack along with access to Warcraft III: Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom, featuring both the base strategy game and a fresh expansion with a new campaign.

All World of Warcraft: Forever bundles will include:

• Sky-Born race plus the Zethris Isle starting experience
• Azure Pride-Claw ground mount
• Shen’drayr Sky-Seer’s Attire transmog set
• Seasoned Adventurer’s Backpack back attachment
• Shen’drayr Wind-Well toy
• Sky-Born-themed housing decor items
• Early name reservation in WoW: Forever
• Starter friend invite code

Expanded bundles will include additional bonuses such as 30 days of game time, tabards, pets, transmog sets, mounts, and more.

Beta testing for World of Warcraft: Forever is planned to launch on September 17, and the release is expected on November 5, 2026.
