BlizzCon

BlizzCon is over.

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".

World of Warcraft: Forever is bringing new and expanded content and gameplay to Classic Azeroth when it launches worldwide on November 4, 2026 as part of your regular World of Warcraft subscription, no additional purchase necessary!

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

With the release of World of Warcraft: Forever we will see a new race called the Skyborne, an elven race who were descended from Highborne elven exiles who made a pact with the Skywall wind elementals generations ago.

One of World of Warcraft: Midnight reveals at BlizzCon was the roadmap of future content leading up to the next expansion, The Last Titan.

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).

Coming early next year, WoW Midnight patch 12.2 heralds the start of the third (and, given the past couple expansions, likely final) content season for this expansion.

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.
