General information

Campfires become shared campsites that grant hour-long buffs, hold profession-crafted objects, and give every trade a reason to exist outdoors.

Launch on 4 November, first raid unlock on 9 December, then raids, dungeons, PvP updates, world content, Hardcore and a revamped iconic raid - in that order, without dates.

Three editions at $29.99, $59.99 and $79.99. The cheapest one unlocks the Skyborne but does not include beta access - here is exactly what each contains.

Legacy Points are earned account-wide and spent per character across Professions, Adventure and Resourcefulness trees. 16 points at launch, 65 on the full track.

Forever has no realms. You pick a ruleset - Normal, PvP, Roleplay or Hardcore - and play in a single connected region-wide world.

Forever launches 4 November 2026 at 3:00 p.m. PST. The beta runs 17 September to 21 October with a level 30 cap. Every confirmed date in one place.

Forever is included with the standard World of Warcraft subscription. No separate purchase is required to play it, and no separate subscription either.

Forever is a third, permanent version of WoW that expands vanilla Azeroth sideways instead of upward. The level cap stays at 60 and new content arrives at that cap.
