World of Warcraft: Forever Early Access & Post-Launch Roadmap For 2026 & 2027

For all World of Warcraft: Forever fans, whether you’re playing the beta or in it for the long haul with the full release, Blizzard has kindly shared details on the game’s roadmap for 2026 and 2027.

World of Warcraft truly is forever, and that’s not even the new 2026 game. The BlizzCon announcement cemented the game’s already immortal status, and the WoW community will take a journey back through the past with WoW: Forever. Take a look at what’s to come in the game’s 2026/2027 roadmap.
