Carve a New Path with World of Warcraft: Forever
Built as a new permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW, World of Warcraft: Forever invites past, current, and new players into a familiar yet fresh Azeroth where the world takes center stage, community comes first, and the journey matters as much as the destination.
Set after the events of Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom and before Molten Core, players will return to the original continents, adventure to level 60, and continue progressing through new stories, experiences, and updates inspired by years of player passion and feedback. World of Warcraft: Forever launches November 4 at 3:00 p.m. PDT globally, with beta beginning Thursday, September 17.
