WoW Forever FAQ
The high-confidence answers players need before beta starts.
When does World of Warcraft: Forever launch?
Blizzard says World of Warcraft: Forever launches globally on November 4, 2026. The official announcement lists a 3:00 p.m. Pacific launch time.
When is the WoW Forever beta?
The beta begins September 17, 2026 and is scheduled to run through October 21, 2026 for eligible accounts and qualifying upgrade editions.
Is WoW Forever Classic Plus?
Classic Plus is a community term rather than Blizzard's official product name. Forever matches much of the idea by expanding original level-60 Azeroth with new content instead of only recreating a historical patch.
Is WoW Forever a season?
No. Blizzard describes Forever as a permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW and explicitly says it is not a mode, a season, or a new version of Classic.
What is the WoW Forever level cap?
The announced journey runs from level 1 to 60. Blizzard is emphasizing leveling, exploration and ongoing additions across that full range rather than treating leveling as disposable content.
How much does WoW Forever cost?
Base launch access is included with an active World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time. Optional upgrade packs add benefits such as Skyborne access, beta access, Early Name Reservation and cosmetics.
What classes can Skyborne play?
Both factions can play Skyborne Warrior, Hunter, Rogue and Druid. Horde Skyborne can also be Shaman, while Alliance Skyborne can also be Mage.
Will this wiki publish beta talents, bosses and loot?
Yes, but only after the active beta build can be checked directly. Version-sensitive values will carry a last-checked date so pre-beta speculation is not presented as settled fact.
