BlizzCon 2026 has come and gone, and although news about upcoming Retail content was scarce, World of Warcraft: Forever was announced. [source]
WoW, Forever
Officially launching November 4th, 2026, World of Warcraft: Forever is a “new” version of our favorite MMO. It combines the original game with fresh new content and updates. Some call this “Classic+”.
Capped at level 60, play through familiar content but also explore revamped and brand new quests, dungeons, and raids. If you’re looking for a challenge, Hardcore will be a new gamemode option you can choose.
There will be a new race, the Skyborne, however it can only be unlocked with purchase of one of the WoW: Forever bundles.

Bundle Mini-Pets
WoW: Forever will be free to play with an active WoW subscription, however there are bundles that can be purchased to unlock the Skyborne race and award some cosmetic items.
The two highest tiers, Skyborne Epic Pack ($59.99 USD) and Warcraft Forever Collection ($79.99 USD), include four mini-pets plus additional cosmetics.
Pets include Zergling, Pachimari, Panda, and Diablo (pictured above). Note that they are only usable in WoW: Forever, and as far as we know WoW: Forever and Retail WoW will not share collections.
