## Key points

- Forever will have its own branching continuity.
- The Scarlet Enclave and Ashbringer are set to return.
- PvP character creation is restricted amid a 55% Horde to 45% Alliance split.

## Summary

Blizzard developers say World of Warcraft Forever will follow a branching continuity, giving its writers room to develop the setting without being constrained by later events in the main game. They also teased the return of the Scarlet Enclave raid and Ashbringer, though no timetable was given.

Senior designer Josh Greenfield said work on Season of Discovery helped shape the team’s thinking about Forever, including the challenges of fitting new material into established lore. He also said PvP character creation is being restricted because the faction split has reached 55% Horde and 45% Alliance, beyond Blizzard’s preferred 10-point gap; balance is based on characters’ play over time, not simply how many low-level characters exist.
