## Summary

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft Forever is set to launch on 4 November, following a beta that only reached level 30. The project reimagines how the original game might have developed if its designers had continued expanding the world instead of moving on to the Outland expansion, offering players a new route through familiar Azeroth.

Blizzard says Forever will preserve Classic’s emphasis on exploration and the world’s local stories, while adding quests across starting areas and zones, rare-creature rewards, and more developed trade skills. It also includes some modern conveniences, such as damage meters and a cooldown manager. The designers describe the approach as distinct from the current game’s stronger focus on endgame content.
