Blizzard has opened pre-orders for World of Warcraft: Forever, a new iteration of the classic MMORPG described by the company as a "new way" to play WoW. The title is set to launch on November 4, 2026, and beta access will begin on September 17.

Three digital editions are available:

  • Heroic Nightborne Pack - $30 (16299 tenge/3000 rubles): grants the Nightborne race and the introductory starting experience on the island of Zefris, plus a sky-blue claw ground mount, the outfit of a Shendorei sky seer, street gear for the seasoned adventurer for transmog, a seasoned adventurer’s backpack back adornment, the toy "Shendorei Wind Well," and Nightborne-style decorative items. This edition also includes early name reservation in WoW: Forever and one starter code to invite a friend.
  • Epic Nightborne Pack - $60 (32499 tenge/6000 rubles): contains everything in the Heroic Pack and adds access to the WoW: Forever beta, a loyal companion of the seasoned adventurer ground mount, four pets (a zergling, a panda, Diablo, and Pachimari), heraldic cloaks of Lordaeron and Shendorei, and 30 days of World of Warcraft game time. Instead of one friend invite code, this edition provides three.
  • Warcraft Forever Collection - $80 (43299 tenge/8000 rubles): the most complete bundle. It includes the Epic Nightborne Pack plus access to Warcraft III: Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom — a title that ties the story of The Frozen Throne with the early days of World of Warcraft — and decorative figurines of humans and Forsaken. This edition also supplies three friend invite starter codes.

Access to WoW: Forever is available to anyone with an active World of Warcraft subscription, but the Nightborne race and the Zefris starter experience require purchasing one of the paid editions. Players who buy editions priced $60 or higher will receive friend invite codes valid during launch week, November 4–11; Blizzard will begin distributing those codes on October 20. Early name reservation — allowing players to create a character and claim a desired name before release — will run from October 27 to November 3.
