At BlizzCon 2026 this past weekend, Blizzard finally confirmed the long-rumored existence of “Classic Plus” with the announcement of World of Warcraft: Forever. The new version will keep many of the core mechanics of Classic WoW while expanding on them with new quests and zones. These additions will branch away from the game’s established continuity, exploring alternate storylines and “what if” scenarios within the Warcraft universe.
This new version of the game will sit alongside Retail and Classic, and will be released on November 4th, 2026.
The beta for WoW: Forever begins September 17th, and work is already underway by the Zygor Team to develop guides for this new version of the game. Due to the announced level restrictions in beta, we may be limited in what we’ll be able to cover initially, but we will do our best to have as much content available on day one as possible and will work quickly post-launch to complete anything that could not be finished in the beta.
That means there are no plans to have guides ready for the beta as we want to ensure they are working fully for launch. We appreciate all the requests for you guys wanting to beta test our guides and your enthusiasm to stick with Zygor for this next chapter of WoW.
As Always, these new guides will be added as part of the Zygor Elite subscription at no additional charge. All you will need is an active Zygor Elite subscription and you will be able to access these guides at launch, which will be ahead of the games official launch.
Stay tuned to our Discord and official news channels for more updates on Zygor’s World of Warcraft: Forever. We’ll have more to share leading up to the guides official release.
Thank you everyone!
I agree with most comments here, I would love to see an option where you can pick up dungeon quests with the leveling guide incorporated.
will the guide be available on november 4th?
For official launch yes!
Yes, it would be great to have leveling pick up the quests for dungeons as you level and guide you as to when you should hit each dungeon as part of your leveling process.
Not a bad idea! I know in general if dungeon quests are worth it then it would make sense to add it to the route.
i was wondering if there a guide for consoles if they decide to do xbox
Updated gold guides would be greatly appreciated too
I can ask on this!
Will this guide include step by step directions for the most efficient way to grind reputation from beginning to exalted for factions like Stormwind?
It depends on when we put out the rep guides. Keep an eye out for more info!
Unfortunately, for those of us planning to rush on day one, not being able to test our leveling routes on the beta is quite a handicap :/. A level 1–20 beta version would have allowed us to familiarize ourselves with the route and make any adjustments we wanted on our end.
I completely understand but we want to make sure the main guides are in working order. Focusing our time and attention on the finished product instead of a half baked guide.
This is huge, zygor makes my time on wow 1000% more enjoyable! Thanks Zygor!
Thank you!
Yeah, incorporate dungeon quests in the “fast levelling guide” is the best. Those dungeon quests gives massive amount of XP!
Does this mean that there is a working version for the beta, or strictly reserved for the official launch?
No beta guides, just for launch.
Would be nice to have an option to complete each and every quest in game for completionist people like me. Especially since this is “Forever” project. Maybe just option to “Clean the zone for 100%” or something like that.
We have been getting many requests for this and I’ll pass it along to the content team.
I’ve always used zygor and i think it’s the best. I think focusing a guide to proffesions to help out with leveling would be nice. It would be a way to get better gear etc to make leveling smoother.
Could we potentially look to have loremaster type guides for wow Forever? as we are going to be here, well, forever, a lot of my friends intend to do every quest in a zone exploring the lore rather than chasing max level with an optimised questing path.
This is a GREAT idea.
Thanks for the update, totally makes sense 🙂
Given the beta build will be heavily encrypted and capped at level 30. You may want to level set what will be available at launch.
For me I would like full zone by zone guides. And new profession/farming.
We are working on this and hope to have more info soon.
Please can you add an option to pick up dungeon quests as we level to do the dungeons as dungeon xp is now reduced
I think this would be awesome!
