A demo version of Talebound, World of Warcraft's forthcoming standalone game mode, will be available to play on the Midnight patch 12.1.7 PTR beginning October 30, 2026 through November 1, 2026.

You are waiting with your spreadsheet to try to grab a unique first and last name. I am about to get on a steam train in the wilderness in a DLC for one of my favorite long-term games.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we deny all evidence to the contrary that the island in the DLC is named after me.

While there is no early access period for World of Warcraft: Forever, one thing to put on your calendar besides the November 4 release is the early name reservation window, which starts on October 27...

After two weeks of eight-hour maintenance, I'm pleased to announce that all World of Warcraft servers will be offline for just an hour this morning.

It’s just around the corner!

Have you eaten your first box of candy and needed to buy the “Shameful Second” box? The “Is What It Is third box?” The “Accepting You Have a Problem and Doing Nothing to Change It” fourth box?

I’m going on a vacation trip soon and I hope I get isekai’d into some videogame world. Some of those locations you see in games look so realistic that one might think they could actually exist in real life!

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where sometimes we wonder what it would be like to visit Azeroth, or Hyrule, or Planet Zebes, and then we decide to play some Assassin’s Creed. (I wish Florence was real.)

Hallow's End has begun in World of Warcraft, and with it comes all our old haunts, plus a ton of content for our Player Housing neighborhoods.

It’s a sad day in video games, as we mourn the loss of BioWare, which is so crushing there are barely words for it.

That doesn’t mean I’m not going to write words about it, but none of those words encompasses the scope of what we’ve lost.
