At this year’s BlizzCon, Blizzard announced a new version of World of Warcraft Classic, called World of Warcraft Forever. Blizzard says WoW Forever is “built as a new permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW.” It’s set after the events of Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom but before Molten Core, and sends players back to the original continents with a cap at level 60. There are new stories, a new class, and over 1,000 new quests in the title.
With World of Warcraft Forever launching on November 4, a beta is due to start this week. There are a few ways you can gain access, so here’s all you need to know.
WoW Forever beta start and end times
The World of Warcraft Forever beta will run from Thursday, September 17, to October 21, 2026.
There are no official start times just yet, although Blizzard often rolls its updates out between 11 AM and 2 PM ET, so we’d expect the beta to become available around then.
