With the release of World of Warcraft: Forever rapidly approaching, I am starting to think ahead about what classes and races I'm going to play first so I don't spend precious gaming time staring at the character creation screen on launch night.

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.

Many of the people playing in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta have been asking what happens to their characters and progress after the beta -- and there sure are a lot of them.

Nestled among all of the reveal-bombs at BlizzCon's opening ceremony was a rather ordinary reveal of what's coming next in Midnight's patch 12.2.

The leaves are changing color, the temperatures are dropping, and it's time for Brewfest in World of Warcraft: Midnight!

One of the least advertised things on the BlizzCon 2026 map was a small area in the World of Warcraft section labeled "Last Call at the Arcantina".

As you may have deduced by my recent run of BlizzCon coverage, last weekend was my first time attending the event in person.

There are a great many dimensions that make gatherings of nerds charming and fun, and perhaps none put a smile on the faces of passersby better than cosplay.

World of Warcraft: Forever is launching on November 4 with a 40-player Onyxia's Lair raid as well as two brand new raids: Hyjal Summit (20-player) and the Barrow Deeps (10-player).

After I got my hands on the World of Warcraft: Forever demo in the BlizzCon media village, I knew that a single play-through of the Skyborne starting area wasn't going to be enough to answer all of your questions about how this unique zone looked and felt.
