## Summary

A modder is building Retro Forever, a first-person mod for World of Warcraft: Forever that aims to let players experience Azeroth through their characters’ eyes. Its retro fantasy style takes inspiration from games such as Morrowind and Hexen, and the project matters as an attempt to reshape the MMO into a more immersive role-playing experience.

Created by Arhkain, the mod combines existing add-ons with a custom interface and animations for spells and abilities. It is not publicly available yet and currently supports only selected mage spells and other class abilities; an artist has expressed interest in making original assets to replace material borrowed and modified from other games. Arhkain says generative AI would not help with development, and World of Warcraft: Forever is due to release on 4 November.
