World of Warcraft: Forever Goes Live Globally November 4!

Whether you’re stepping into World of Warcraft for the first time or finding your way back to Azeroth, there’s a place for you in World of Warcraft: Forever . Explore a new and reimagined Azeroth at your own pace, discover new places or revisit old favorites, and meet fellow adventurers along the way. This permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW puts community first and makes the journey as meaningful as the destination.

WoW: Forever expands the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor with new and reimagined zones and more than 1,000 new quests across the level 1–60 journey. Explore new destinations including Mount Hyjal, Shen’dralas, the Riverglades, and Zephras Isle.

Race and class shape the hero you become in World of Warcraft: Forever , from the fantasy you embody to the role you take on in the world. You can return to a familiar favorite, explore a newly available combination, or begin your journey as a Skyborne character, with each choice offering a different way to step into Azeroth’s next chapter.

The Skyborne—also known as the shen’dorei, or hidden people—are a new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever. Their journey begins on Zephras Isle, a level 1–12 starting experience that blends classic Warcraft aesthetics with elemental architecture and a story shaped by wind and ancestry. At character creation, you’ll choose whether your Skyborne joins the proud Horde or the noble Alliance.

Every journey through Azeroth begins with a choice about the kind of world you want to step into. In World of Warcraft: Forever , your journey starts with a Ruleset rather than a traditional realm-selection screen.

• Normal: This ruleset allows you to focus on adventuring and fighting monsters while allowing you to fight other players at your own discretion.
• PvP: This ruleset allows you to focus on player versus player combat; you are almost always at risk of being attacked by opposing players.
• Roleplay: This ruleset has strict naming conventions and behavior rules for players interested in immersing themselves as a character in a fantasy-based world.

A name is one of the first choices you make when creating a character. It can be humorous, heroic, mysterious, deeply personal, or something that only makes sense to the friends who have adventured with you for years. In World of Warcraft: Forever , character names gain more room to breathe through a new two-name structure designed for a larger, realmless Azeroth.

The Camping system in World of Warcraft: Forever turns the Cooking profession’s Basic Campfire into a shared campsite where adventurers can rest, prepare, and connect. Nearby players can contribute up to three profession-crafted Camp Features, with each player adding one. Sit or craft at a campsite for at least 1 minute to gain benefits from its Camp Features, including buffs that are mutually exclusive with their corresponding class buffs. Take a moment to meet fellow adventurers before returning to the road. Learn more in our previously published overview article .

World of Warcraft: Forever introduces an exciting new account-wide horizontal progression system—the Legacy System. It’s a whole new way to progress, focusing on exploring everything the game has to offer, rather than power progression alone.

A spell to cast, an ally to heal, a well-earned reward to collect—there’s plenty to keep you busy in Azeroth. If you prefer a gamepad, World of Warcraft: Forever gives you another way to join the action.
