Blizzard Watch Podcast: Following the WoW 2026 roadmap

This week we’re all about the WoW roadmap which came out last week, for both Retail and Classic eras. We’ll discuss the newly announced game features Labyrinth and Prop Hunt, and speculate on the hinted at game mode appearing later in the year. There are patches to come, what might we see at BlizzCon in September, and even more small minutiae that was shared, like codes to share our Player Housing creations with other players.

In terms of Classic, it’s a little funny to our veteran players that MOP has content listed up til Siege of Orgrimmar in the summer, and then nothing (if you know you know).

But there are also things happening right now, like the new Trading Post. Plus TBC Classic Anniversary just released, which makes it impressive that they’ll see the Sunwell by the end of the year according to the roadmap.

Most importantly to our crew is Roofus, a new, upcoming charity pet to benefit Habitat for Humanity, who is a very good boy indeed.
